Summary:

Shenandoah High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Sarahsville, Ohio, with a student population of 261. The school is part of the Noble Local School District, which is ranked 436 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Shenandoah High School's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 85.2% to 98.8% over the past few years, significantly exceeding the state average. The school also performs well on Ohio State Tests, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and English II, where proficiency rates surpass the state averages. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with lower proficiency rates in Geometry and Algebra I compared to the state. Additionally, Shenandoah High School has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.9% to 27.3% over the past few years, which is an area the school should address.

Shenandoah High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's student population is predominantly white (over 98%), which may limit students' exposure to different cultures and perspectives. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students and special education students performing relatively well, while the school struggles with the performance of male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Interestingly, the nearby Buffalo Campus, part of the Mid-East Career and Technology Centers, serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that Shenandoah High School may serve a more affluent student population.

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.
