Nordonia High School

Summary:

Nordonia High School is a public high school serving 1,278 students in grades 9-12 in Macedonia, Ohio, which is part of the Nordonia Hills City School District. The school consistently performs well academically, with high proficiency rates on state tests and an impressive 98.6% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average.

Nordonia High School's strengths include its strong performance across diverse student groups, ranking highly for Asian, African American, and White students. The school also stands out for its exceptional support for homeless students, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in this category. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.3% to 24.8% in recent years, which warrants further investigation and intervention.

Compared to the Nordonia Digital Knights Academy, a virtual high school within the same district, Nordonia High School has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting it may be better equipped to provide personalized attention and support to its students. While the school serves a relatively affluent population, its performance for low socioeconomic status students is not as strong, highlighting the need for equitable support across all student groups.

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.
