High Schools in Hardin Northern Local

The Hardin Northern Local school district in Ohio is home to a single high school, Hardin Northern High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This small, rural school has a predominantly white student population and faces unique challenges related to its high percentage of low-income students.

Hardin Northern High School stands out for its strong 4-year graduation rate of 96.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school struggles in certain academic areas, particularly Mathematics and Science, where proficiency rates fall below state benchmarks. While the school performs well in subjects like American Government and American History, its uneven academic performance suggests a need to focus on improving curriculum and instruction in the weaker subject areas.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which could allow for more personalized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $13,111 indicates a commitment to providing resources to support student learning. As the district and school leadership work to address the unique needs of their predominantly low-income student population, they will need to continue to find ways to ensure all students have the tools and support they need to succeed academically.
