In contrast, Harvey High School and Fairport Harding High School lag behind in test scores, particularly in mathematics, and have higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 45.3% to 38.68% respectively.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing school, iSTEM, and the lower-performing schools, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities. Additionally, the schools serve communities with varying levels of economic resources, as indicated by the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 13.37% at iSTEM to 38.68% at Fairport Harding High School. These insights can inform decision-making and resource allocation to support student success across the Riverside Local, Painesville City Local, Fairport Harbor Exempted Village, and iSTEM school districts.
