Wayne High School

Summary:

Wayne High School is a public high school located in Huber Heights, Ohio, serving 1,743 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Huber Heights City School District, which is ranked 559 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wayne High School has a diverse student population, with 53.47% White, 25.7% African American, and 7.69% Hispanic students, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Ohio high schools, typically between 550-600 out of around 800-850 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a brief period of a 1-star rating, placing it below the state average in terms of overall academic performance. Its four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.2% to 89.7% over the past few years, slightly below the state average but still relatively high. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.3% in 2019-2020 to 45.6% in 2021-2022, which may be impacting its academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Wayne High School generally performs better than some of the lower-performing charter and alternative schools, such as Summit Academy Transition High School Dayton, Liberty High School, and Dayton Athletic Vocational Academy. However, it lags behind higher-performing public schools like Bethel High School and Stivers School for the Arts. Wayne High School's per-student spending of $9,296 in 2018-2019 is slightly below the state average, which may contribute to its academic challenges, and its student-teacher ratio of around 19-20 students per teacher is higher than some of the nearby schools.

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.
