Summary:
The Nelsonville-York City district has only one middle school, Nelsonville-York Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Nelsonville-York Junior High School's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate was 41.3%, compared to the state average of 63%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 41.4% in 2024-2025, which can have a significant impact on student learning and academic outcomes.
The school's relatively low per-student spending of $6,948 in 2018-2019 and high proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the Nelsonville-York City district suggest that the school may be facing resource challenges that could be impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that involves the school, district, and community stakeholders.
