Summary:
The city of Richmond, Ohio is served by two public schools - Edison High School and Edison Junior High School, both part of the Edison Local School District. While the data does not indicate any clear standouts, the high school boasts a strong 94.9% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the state average. The junior high school also outperforms the state on several Ohio State Test metrics, including 8th grade science, 7th grade math, and 7th/8th grade English Language Arts.
Enrollment at the high school is 418 students, while the junior high serves 204 students. Both schools have a very homogeneous student population, with over 96% of students identifying as white. This lack of racial diversity may be an area of concern for the community. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high at both schools, with 12.7% at the high school and 11.0% at the junior high, which could impact student learning and achievement.
The per-student spending varies significantly between the two schools, with the high school spending $11,446 per student and the junior high spending $7,826 per student. This discrepancy in resource allocation within the district may warrant further investigation. Overall, while the schools appear to be performing reasonably well, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and promoting greater racial diversity in the student population.
