Rutherford B Hayes High School has a predominantly white student population, with 76.71% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Delaware Area Career Center South Campus, which has 80.24% white students. The school has consistently performed well on Ohio state tests, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in subjects like American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. Additionally, the school has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.9% in 2021-2022 to 95.7% in 2020-2021, which are above the state average. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.6% in 2019-2020 to 31.2% in 2021-2022, which is a concerning trend that the school should address.

Rutherford B Hayes High School has performed particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the top 50 and top 60 Ohio high schools, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students and English Language Learners is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio high schools. The nearby Delaware Area Career Center South Campus has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 4.3, compared to Rutherford B Hayes High School's 20.8, which may contribute to its ability to provide more personalized attention to students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
