Chesapeake High School

Summary:

Chesapeake High School is a public high school serving 310 students in grades 9-12 in the rural community of Chesapeake, Ohio. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, and its four-year graduation rate has consistently improved, reaching 98.2% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school faces challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism and mixed performance on state assessments, particularly in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I.

Compared to the nearby Lawrence County school, Chesapeake High School has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70.32% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 55.77% at Lawrence County. Additionally, Chesapeake High School's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 450 out of 773 Ohio high schools in 2016-2017 to 499 out of 864 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Chesapeake High School has some areas of academic success, such as in American History and Biology, and its strong graduation rates indicate the school's commitment to supporting students to complete their high school education. By addressing the identified areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and math proficiency, the school can work to better support its diverse student population and improve its overall academic outcomes. The Lawrence County school's higher performance in some areas may provide valuable insights for Chesapeake High School to consider as it works to enhance its educational offerings.

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.
