Maple Heights High School

Summary:

Maple Heights High School is a public high school serving 1,017 students in grades 9-12 in Maple Heights, Ohio. The school is part of the Maple Heights City School District, which is ranked 671 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Heights High School faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below the state average on Ohio State Tests across all subject areas. The school has a predominantly African American student population (91.64%), which is much higher than the nearby Luther E. Ball (CHJCF) school (69.47%). Maple Heights High School's four-year graduation rate has improved but still lags behind the state average, and the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 32.7% in 2019-2020 to 61.7% in 2021-2022.

While the nearby Luther E. Ball (CHJCF) school has an even lower academic performance and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (97.71%), Maple Heights High School's own socioeconomic challenges likely contribute to its academic struggles. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, providing targeted interventions for underperforming subgroups, and ensuring adequate funding and resources could be crucial steps in helping Maple Heights High School improve and better serve its 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.
