Norwayne High School

Summary:

Norwayne High School is a public high school located in Creston, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 409 students. The school is part of the Norwayne Local School District, which is ranked 69th out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Norwayne High School consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, and Algebra I. This strong academic performance is reflected in the school's high statewide ranking, reaching as high as 92nd out of 864 Ohio high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school has also maintained impressive four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94% to 98.4% over the past five years, significantly exceeding the state average. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with over 94% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and reflects the demographic composition of the surrounding community. Despite serving a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with nearly 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Norwayne High School has consistently ranked highly in the state for this subgroup, reaching the 61st percentile in the 2023-2024 school year.

The only nearby school included in the data is the Wayne County Schools Career Center, located approximately 7 miles from Norwayne High School. While the Career Center serves a larger student population (592 students) and has a higher percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients (58.11%), it maintains a lower student-to-teacher ratio (11.3) compared to Norwayne High School (19.1), suggesting that the Career Center may have more resources available to support its students, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds.

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.
