Pymatuning Valley High School

Summary:

Pymatuning Valley High School is a public high school located in Andover, Ohio, serving 351 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Pymatuning Valley Local District, which is ranked 377 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pymatuning Valley High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 93% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strong results in subjects like American Government and History, but struggles in areas like Geometry and English II. While the school maintains a strong four-year graduation rate, it has experienced a concerning spike in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.6% in 2019-2020 to 36.6% in 2021-2022. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at around 52.7%.

In comparison, the nearby Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus has a more diverse student population, a lower student-teacher ratio, and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that Pymatuning Valley High School may face unique challenges in serving its predominantly white, low-income student population. Addressing the school's declining statewide ranking, subgroup performance disparities, and chronic absenteeism will be crucial for improving student outcomes and ensuring the long-term success of the school.

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.
