The school is part of the East Liverpool City School District, which is ranked 617 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Liverpool High School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 85% white, consistently low academic performance ranking in the bottom third of Ohio high schools, and a declining four-year graduation rate that dropped from 88.4% in 2021-2022 to 78.9% in 2023-2024. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 29.6% in 2019-2020 to 51.4% in 2023-2024. While the school performs relatively better for its African American students, it lags behind the state and nearby Columbiana County in most key metrics.

This stark contrast highlights the unique challenges faced by East Liverpool High School and the need for targeted interventions to address the declining academic performance, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism that have plagued the school in recent years.

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.
