Dawson-Bryant High School

Summary:

Dawson-Bryant High School is a public high school serving 311 students in grades 9-12 in Coal Grove, Ohio, which is part of the Lawrence County school district. While the school has maintained a relatively high graduation rate, it faces several key challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, below-average academic performance, and increasing chronic absenteeism.

Dawson-Bryant High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 96% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Lawrence County High School, which has a more diverse student body. Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.8% to 63.1% across various subject areas. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in the 2019-2020 school year to 33.6% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Dawson-Bryant High School serves a relatively high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. The school's ranking for this subgroup has fluctuated between 385 and 524 out of 773-822 Ohio high schools over the past three years. Additionally, the school's performance in supporting its special education and disabled student populations has varied, with rankings ranging from 299 to 547 out of 598-614 Ohio high schools for special education students and 159 to 485 out of 596-628 Ohio high schools for disabled students. Compared to the nearby Lawrence County High School, which has a significantly lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, Dawson-Bryant High School may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
