United High School

Summary:

United High School is a public high school located in Hanoverton, Ohio, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 597 students. The school is part of the United Local District, which is ranked 374 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

United High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Columbiana County High School, which has a more diverse student body. The school has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.5% to 100% over the past five years, well above the state average. However, United High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.5% in 2019-2020 to 41.6% in 2021-2022, a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.

Academically, United High School generally performs well on state assessments, with students scoring above the state average in several subject areas, such as Science, American History, and Biology. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds tending to perform better than their male and higher-income peers, respectively. The school also struggles to support its special education and gifted and talented student populations, as indicated by their lower rankings compared to other Ohio high schools.

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.
