Summary:

Rock Hill Senior High School is a public high school in Ironton, Ohio, serving 321 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Rock Hill Local School District, which is ranked 512 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rock Hill Senior High School faces several challenges, including a predominantly white student population (over 96%), consistently low academic performance (ranking in the bottom half of Ohio high schools with a 1-star rating), and a significant increase in chronic absenteeism (from 9.5% in 2019-2020 to 34.9% in 2021-2022). However, the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.8% to 96.6% in recent years, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 to 8.1. When compared to the nearby Lawrence County High School, Rock Hill Senior High School has a similar racial makeup but significantly lower academic performance.

The school's performance on state tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for special education students and students with disabilities, but struggling with proficiency rates for low-socioeconomic status students and gifted and talented students. The school's relatively low per-student spending of $12,403 (in 2018-2019) may be a factor in its academic challenges, as it may limit the resources and support available to students and teachers. Addressing the root causes of the school's issues, such as funding, student engagement, and targeted support for underperforming subgroups, could be key to driving better outcomes for the students of Rock Hill Senior High School.

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.
