Summary:

Portsmouth Junior High School/Portsmouth High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in Portsmouth, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 672 students. The school is part of the Portsmouth City School District, which is ranked 634 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a majority white student population (69.2%), it also serves a significant number of students from other racial backgrounds, including 7.59% African American, 8.18% Hispanic, and 14.58% two or more races. Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.9% to 76.3% across different subject areas and grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 90.9% and 94.5% over the past five years, which is generally on par with or slightly below the state average. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.7% in the 2019-2020 school year to 51% in the 2020-2021 school year, and remains high at 40.5% in the 2023-2024 school year.

In comparison, the nearby Scioto County Career Technical Center has a much higher percentage of white students (95.27%) and a significantly lower student-teacher ratio (6:1). These differences may contribute to the schools' varying academic outcomes. Overall, Portsmouth Junior High School/Portsmouth High School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and disparities in student subgroup outcomes, which will need to be addressed to improve the educational experience for its diverse 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.
