Zanesville High School

Summary:

Zanesville High School is a public high school serving 691 students in grades 9-12 in Zanesville, Ohio, which is part of the Mid-East Career and Technology Centers school district. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby Zanesville Campus school, it has consistently underperformed on state tests, with only 20% of students proficient or better in Geometry and 28.1% in Algebra I, well below the state averages.

Zanesville High School has shown improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 90.2% in 2021-2022 to 95.9% in 2023-2024, though this rate is still slightly lower than the state average. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20% in 2019-2020 to 50.6% in 2022-2023, which may be impacting its academic performance. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 20 to 21.7 students per teacher in recent years, higher than the nearby Zanesville Campus school.

While Zanesville High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its ranking for African American students (169 out of 318 Ohio high schools in 2023-2024) being significantly higher than its ranking for White students (619 out of 754 Ohio high schools in 2023-2024), the school's ranking for gifted and talented students (137 out of 280 Ohio high schools in 2023-2024) is relatively higher compared to its overall ranking. To address its challenges, the school should focus on targeted interventions for specific student subgroups, investigate the causes of chronic absenteeism, and explore ways to optimize its resource allocation and student support strategies.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
