Summary:
The city of Whitehall, Ohio is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole faces some challenges, with the high school and middle school struggling, Etna Road Elementary School stands out as a relatively higher-performing school within the district.
Etna Road Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in several subject areas compared to the district and state averages, including 5th grade science, 4th grade math, and 5th grade English Language Arts. In contrast, the high school and middle school have consistently low statewide rankings, with Whitehall Yearling High School ranking in the bottom quarter of Ohio high schools and Rosemore Middle School ranking in the bottom third of Ohio middle schools. The district as a whole is ranked 602 out of 835 districts in Ohio and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.
One area of concern across the Whitehall City School District is the high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. Addressing this issue and improving academic outcomes district-wide should be key priorities for the district moving forward.
