Summary:
The Northwestern Local district in Ohio is home to a single high school, Northwestern Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has a student population of 733, with a predominantly White (92.09%) demographic and a moderate 28.24% free and reduced-price lunch rate.
Academically, Northwestern Junior/Senior High School's performance is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing above the state average, while others, particularly in mathematics, are significantly below. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 252nd out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2021-2022 to 496th out of 867 in 2022-2023. Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains a strong 96.5% four-year graduation rate, though it also faces a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.2%.
In terms of resources, the school's per-student spending of $8,825 and student-teacher ratio of 22.2 are within typical ranges, but may not be optimal for supporting the academic needs of all students, particularly in areas where the school is underperforming compared to state averages. The lack of diversity in the student population, with a predominantly White student body, may also be an area for the school to explore and address.
