Summary:

Rossford High School is a public high school serving 437 students in grades 9-12 in Rossford, Ohio, which is part of the Rossford Exempted Village School District. The school has a predominantly white student population and has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 227 out of 769 high schools in 2013-2014 and 474 out of 864 high schools in 2023-2024.

While Rossford High School's academic performance on state tests is generally above the state average, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 18.6% in 2020-2021 to 25.5% in 2023-2024.

This suggests that the school is effectively supporting students in completing their high school education, even with the socioeconomic diversity of the student population and the increase in chronic absenteeism.

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.
