Mt Gilead High School

Summary:

Mt Gilead High School is a public high school serving 283 students in grades 9-12 in Mount Gilead, Ohio, which is part of the Mount Gilead Exempted Village School District. The school consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, with particularly strong results in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, which is an area that needs to be addressed.

Mt Gilead High School has a predominantly white student population, with only a small percentage of minority students. Despite having a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, the school has been able to support this group effectively, ranking 172 out of 822 Ohio high schools for low-socioeconomic status students in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school and district have implemented strategies to address the unique needs of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to the nearby Tri-Rivers Career Center, Mt Gilead High School has a slightly lower percentage of white students and a lower student-to-teacher ratio. However, Tri-Rivers Career Center has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the two schools may serve different socioeconomic populations and face unique challenges in supporting their respective student bodies.

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.
