William Henry Harrison High School

Summary:

William Henry Harrison High School is a public high school serving 1,166 students in grades 9-12 in Harrison, Ohio, which is part of the Southwest Local School District.

The school has a predominantly white student population, with 90.82% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the nearby Diamond Oaks Cdc, which has a more balanced racial makeup. Academically, William Henry Harrison High School ranks in the middle range of Ohio high schools, with proficiency rates around the state average. The school maintains a strong four-year graduation rate, but has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.1% in 2019-2020 to 37.1% in 2020-2021. The student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated, ranging from 16 students per teacher to 28.1 students per teacher in recent years.

Interestingly, the school's performance on state tests varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and multi-racial students tending to perform better than their white and economically disadvantaged peers. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 328 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 450 out of 864 in 2023-2024. When compared to the nearby Diamond Oaks Cdc, which serves a smaller student population but has a more diverse racial makeup and a lower student-teacher ratio, the differences in educational experiences and outcomes for students at the two schools are noteworthy.

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.
