Gibsonburg High School

Summary:

Gibsonburg High School is a public high school serving 246 students in grades 9-12 in Gibsonburg, Ohio, which is part of the Vanguard-Sentinel Career & Technology Centers district. The school has a predominantly white student population, with mixed academic performance and a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism.

Academically, Gibsonburg High School outperforms the state average in some subjects like American Government but underperforms in others like Biology and Geometry. The school's overall ranking has fluctuated between 386 and 542 out of 864 Ohio high schools, with a current ranking of 542 and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Interestingly, the nearby Vanguard Technical Center and Technology Center have significantly different student populations, academic focuses, and student-teacher ratios, which may provide valuable insights for Gibsonburg High School to consider.

Another area of concern is the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 62.2%, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.9% in 2019-2020 to 16.4% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the state average. These factors suggest that Gibsonburg High School may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and address the underlying causes of the chronic absenteeism trend.

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.
