Celina High School

Summary:

Celina High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 in Celina, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 784 students. The school is part of the Celina City School District, which is ranked 330 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Celina High School has a predominantly white student population, with 85.33% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Tri Star Career Compact school, which has a 94.71% white student population. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in some subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology, but weaknesses in others, such as English II, Geometry, and Integrated Math I. Celina High School has seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rate, reaching 95.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.4% in 2019-2020 to 22.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Celina High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school performs relatively well for male students and white students, it struggles with Asian, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom tiers of the state. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,336, which is slightly higher than the state average. These findings suggest the need for Celina High School to examine its recruitment and enrollment practices, implement targeted interventions to address academic performance gaps and chronic absenteeism, and develop more personalized and equitable support systems 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.
