Medina City School District

The Medina City School District in Ohio consists of 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with socioeconomic factors and student-teacher ratios appearing to play a significant role in academic outcomes.

Among the standout schools in the district are Ralph E. Waite Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Ohio, and A.I. Root Middle School, which is a top-performing middle school in the state. The district's flagship high school, Medina High School, also ranks in the top 100 high schools in Ohio and has a strong 96.6% four-year graduation rate.

However, the data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools, such as Garfield Elementary School and Evolve Academy. This suggests that the district may need to examine the factors contributing to these disparities and implement strategies to support struggling schools, particularly those with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which appears to be correlated with lower academic performance.
