Piketon Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Piketon Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 5-12 with 672 students in Piketon, Ohio, which is part of the Pike County Area school district. The school faces a mix of challenges, including declining statewide rankings, high chronic absenteeism, and uneven academic performance compared to state and local averages.

Piketon Junior/Senior High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the more diverse nearby Scioto County Career Technical Center and Vern Riffe Career Technology Center. The school has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, but its chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated, reaching as high as 40.2% in recent years, which is a significant concern.

Academically, Piketon Junior/Senior High School's performance is mixed, with strengths in subjects like American Government and American History, but struggles in areas like Mathematics and Geometry, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than state averages. The school also performs relatively well for special education and low socioeconomic status students, but struggles with gifted and talented students, who rank in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools. These disparities in student group performance highlight the need for the school to address equity and ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
