Fairlawn High School

Summary:

Fairlawn High School is a public high school located in Sidney, Ohio, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 304 students. The school is part of the Fairlawn Local School District, which is ranked 105 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairlawn High School consistently performs well on state assessments, with a majority of students scoring proficient or better in core subjects. The school's graduation rates are also high, ranging from 91.1% to 98.0% over the past five years, well above the state average. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 16.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, though still lower than the state average. Fairlawn High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.8 to 22 students per teacher in recent years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment.

While Fairlawn High School's academic performance is impressive, it serves a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with nearly 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This highlights the importance of the school's support systems and resources in ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students. Additionally, the school's predominantly white student population, which is significantly higher than the state average, may warrant further investigation into the factors contributing to this demographic composition and the school's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. A comparison to the nearby Upper Valley Career Center reveals some differences in student demographics and performance that could provide valuable insights for both 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.
