Carey High School stands out for its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.7% to 100% over the past 5 years. The school also outperforms nearby schools like Fostoria Junior/Senior High School and Upper Sandusky High School in terms of chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Carey High School students consistently score higher than state averages on Ohio State Tests in subjects like Science, American Government, American History, and Algebra I.

While Carey High School has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (21.17%), the school's female students and low socioeconomic status students perform particularly well, ranking higher than their male and higher socioeconomic status peers in the state. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a stable and reliable educational environment. However, there are a few areas where the school could focus on improvement, such as increasing the proficiency rates in Mathematics, particularly in 8th grade, and addressing the rising chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
