Howland High School consistently performs above the state average in Ohio State Tests across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. This strong academic performance is reflected in the school's high ranking, placing it in the top 25% of Ohio high schools in recent years. The school also maintains an impressive four-year graduation rate, reaching as high as 97.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly exceeding the state average. While the student population is predominantly white, the school has a relatively diverse student body, with 4.04% African American, 2.7% Hispanic, and 1.35% Asian students.

However, Howland High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.3% in 2019-2020 to 31.1% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend.

In comparison, the nearby Trumbull Career & Technical Center has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that Howland High School serves a relatively more affluent student population, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

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.
