High Schools in Fayette Local

The Fayette Local school district in Ohio is home to a single high school, Fayette Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 141 students. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 88.2%, it faces academic challenges, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts, where proficiency rates lag significantly behind state averages.

Fayette Junior/Senior High School's student population is predominantly White (82.98%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (12.06%), Asian (2.13%), and students of two or more races (2.84%). However, the school has a very high percentage (97.87%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic performance issues, as well as its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%.

Despite these challenges, the school appears to be allocating resources effectively, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 and a per-student spending of $11,738 for the 2018-2019 school year. In some subject areas, such as American Government and American History, the school's proficiency rates even exceed state averages. However, the data suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the core academic deficiencies in mathematics and English Language Arts, ultimately helping the school better serve its student population and improve overall student outcomes.
