Summary:
The city of Minford, Ohio is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The data reveals a mixed picture, with some standout academic performance but also concerning trends around absenteeism and socioeconomic disparities.
Minford Middle School and Minford Primary Elementary School stand out for their strong academic performance, exceeding state averages in key subjects like science, math, and English language arts. However, all three schools, including Minford High School, struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 35%. This is a significant concern that can impact student learning and achievement.
The data also reveals stark socioeconomic disparities, with Minford Primary Elementary School having an extremely high 99.28% free/reduced lunch rate, compared to just 35.22% at Minford High School. This suggests the lower grade levels serve a more economically disadvantaged population, which may require additional resources and support. Additionally, the schools have a highly homogeneous racial makeup, with white students comprising over 98% of the student body, limiting the diversity of perspectives and experiences available to students. Overall, the Minford Local District faces both strengths and challenges in providing a well-rounded education to its students.
