High Schools in Southern Local

The Southern Local district in Ohio has only one high school, Southern Local Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 94.41% of students identifying as white. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 98.4%, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is consistently below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.

One notable area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be negatively impacting student learning and academic outcomes. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,816, which is in line with the state average, suggesting that the school may have adequate resources to support student learning. However, the academic underperformance and high chronic absenteeism indicate that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges.

Overall, the analysis of the data for Southern Local Junior/Senior High School reveals a school that is struggling with academic performance and attendance, despite maintaining a relatively high graduation rate. The school's lack of diversity and representation within the student population may also be an area of concern that the district should consider addressing. With targeted interventions and a focus on improving student learning and attendance, the school has the potential to better serve the needs of the Southern Local community.
