Summary:

Adena High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Frankfort, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the Adena Local School District, which is ranked 525 out of 839 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adena High School stands out for its predominantly white student population, with over 93% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.4% to 94.6% over the past five years, above the state average. However, it has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.5% in 2019-2020 to 32.4% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average. Academically, the school performs well in some subject areas, such as American Government and English II, but struggles in others, like Geometry and Algebra I, where proficiency rates are below the state average. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for gifted and talented students but struggling with special education and low socioeconomic status students.

Compared to the nearby Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center, Adena High School has a more homogeneous student population, with a higher percentage of white students and lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This may suggest different challenges and priorities for the two schools. Overall, Adena High School faces a mix of strengths and challenges, and addressing the concerns around chronic absenteeism and disparities in student group performance should be a priority for the school and district.

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.
