Summary:

Ridgedale Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Morral, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the Ridgedale Local School District, which is ranked 501 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridgedale Junior/Senior High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, which is 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 Mathematics and English Language Arts, particularly in the middle grades. However, Ridgedale maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.3% to 100% in recent years, which is above the state average. Concerning trends include a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.3% in 2019-2020 to 38.1% in 2021-2022.

Compared to the nearby Tri-Rivers Career Center, Ridgedale has a lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 12.6 in recent years, suggesting it may have more resources available to support its students. However, Ridgedale's statewide ranking has trended downward, from a high of 380 out of 819 Ohio high schools in 2020-2021 to 458 out of 864 in 2023-2024, indicating the school may be struggling to keep pace with others in the state. Additionally, while Ridgedale performs well for white students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, it struggles to support its gifted and talented students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Ohio high schools in this category.

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.
