Summary:
The city of Rawson, Ohio is home to two schools - Cory-Rawson High School and Cory-Rawson Elementary School, both part of the Cory-Rawson Local school district. While the schools serve different grade levels, they share some concerning trends in their academic performance and school quality metrics.
Both Cory-Rawson High School and Cory-Rawson Elementary School have seen declines in their statewide rankings over the past few years, placing them in the bottom half of schools in Ohio. Additionally, both schools have a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are performing below average compared to other schools in the state. The high schools' ranking has dropped from 435 out of 867 Ohio high schools in 2022-2023 to 527 out of 855 in 2024-2025, while the elementary school's ranking has fallen from 845 out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 887 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025.
Further analysis of the data reveals that both schools struggle with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Cory-Rawson High School had a 97.71% free/reduced lunch rate in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economically disadvantaged students. While the schools have different student-teacher ratios, with the high school at 18:1 and the elementary school at 11.8:1, the overall academic performance and school quality metrics suggest that the Rawson schools face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students.
