Ashland City

The Ashland City school district in Ohio comprises 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district's schools demonstrate a mix of academic excellence and areas for improvement, with several standout institutions and opportunities to address equity concerns.

Ashland High School stands out as the district's top performer, ranking 232 out of 867 Ohio high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.4% and relatively low chronic absenteeism at 20.5%. In contrast, Taft Intermediate School and Reagan Elementary School stand out for their exceptional academic performance, with Taft ranking 347 out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools and Reagan demonstrating very high test scores in Math and English Language Arts.

While the Ashland City district appears to be performing well overall, the data also highlights areas for potential improvement. The significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests potential equity issues, and the lack of racial diversity in the student populations is noteworthy. Additionally, the district's average chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5%, while lower than the state average, still presents an opportunity for improvement, especially at the high school level.
