Rittman High School

Summary:

Rittman High School is a public high school serving 231 students in grades 9-12 in the small town of Rittman, Ohio. The school is part of the Rittman Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 240 out of 839 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rittman High School consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio's standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in subjects like American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. The school's four-year graduation rate is also impressive, ranging from 94.7% to 98.4% over the past five years, well above the state average. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, raising questions about diversity and inclusion, and its performance with special education and disabled students has been more mixed compared to other subgroups.

Despite the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (98.7% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), Rittman High School has been able to achieve strong academic outcomes, with its low-income students ranking in the top 15% of Ohio high schools. This suggests the school has implemented effective strategies to support and engage these students. In contrast, the nearby Wayne County Schools Career Center, which is part of the Wayne County JVSD district, may offer different educational opportunities and resources for families in the area.

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.
