McComb Local Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with 297 students in McComb, Ohio, part of the McComb Local School District. The school stands out for its diverse student population, consistently high graduation rates, and strong academic performance on state tests, though it faces some challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism and supporting underperforming student subgroups.
McComb Local Junior/Senior High School has a relatively diverse student body, with 82.15% White, 16.84% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other races. This diversity is higher than the nearby McComb Local School Panther Academy, which has a 100% White student population. The school also maintains impressive four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.7% to 100% over the past four years, significantly exceeding the state average. Academically, the school outperforms the state on Ohio State Tests, with particular strengths in American Government, 7th grade English Language Arts, and English II.
While McComb Local Junior/Senior High School has many positive attributes, it also faces some areas for improvement. Chronic absenteeism has been on the rise, reaching 16.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, which the school should monitor and address. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and White students outperforming their male and Hispanic peers, respectively. The school may need to investigate the factors behind these gaps and implement targeted interventions. Finally, the school's programming for gifted and talented students is an area of concern, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio high schools for this subgroup, suggesting the need for a review of the school's support for these students.
