Western Reserve High School

Summary:

Western Reserve High School is a public high school serving 295 students in grades 9-12 in Collins, Ohio, which is part of the Vermilion Local District. This predominantly white school has shown strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates in several state tests that exceed state averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting it may be facing challenges in keeping up with other high-performing schools in Ohio.

Western Reserve High School stands out for its racial makeup, with 96.61% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average. The school also maintains high graduation rates, ranging from 93.3% to 97.8% over the past five years, outpacing the state average. While the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 32.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, this rate is still lower than the nearby Vermilion Digital Academy, which had a 62.0% chronic absenteeism rate in 2021-2022.

Compared to other nearby schools, such as William R. Burton and Ehove Career Center, Western Reserve High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.1 to 19.6 over the past three school years. However, the school faces competition from these nearby institutions, which may offer different educational opportunities and resources. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 72.2% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic performance and other outcomes.

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.
