Northmont High School stands out for its diverse student population, with 60.34% White, 25.93% African American, 3.88% Hispanic, 2.23% Asian, and 7.26% two or more races. This diversity is higher than the nearby Miami Valley Ctc, which has a student population that is 81.79% White.

Northmont High School students perform well on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates than the state average across all subject areas, including American Government, American History, and Biology.

While Northmont High School excels in many areas, it also faces some challenges. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.9% in the 2019-2020 school year to 25.2% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's performance in serving gifted and talented students has been inconsistent, and its support for military-connected students is relatively low compared to other Ohio high schools. By addressing these areas, Northmont High School can continue to provide a quality education and support for all its students.

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.
