Ravenna City

Schools in Ravenna City serve roughly 1,464 students across four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, covering grades K–12 in this northeast Ohio district. The district as a whole ranks 629 of 773 in Ohio, at the 19th percentile with 1 star — and that district-level ranking appears on every school record, so it reflects the district rather than any single building. Two limits matter for parents: free/reduced lunch percentages are not reported for any of the four schools, and per-student spending figures come from 2018–2019, so they are historical.

Results differ meaningfully from school to school. West Main Elementary School stands out for attendance: 28.1% chronic absenteeism, the lowest in the city and 8.9 points below the district's 37.0%, with a current rank of 1,077 of 1,560 (31st percentile, 2 stars) — the strongest school rank in the group. Its 4th-grade math is 66.4% proficient, close to the state's 67.3%, though 3rd-grade math is only 30.9%. Brown Middle School posts a striking Algebra I result of 82.6% proficient, far above the district and state, but that likely reflects a selective group of advanced students. Ravenna High School graduates 93.3% of students, yet Geometry sits at 23.7% and chronic absenteeism at 47.2%. Willyard Elementary School is the smallest (125 students, grades K–2) with the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13.8, but no test scores or rank history.

Overall, the district faces real academic challenges, especially middle-school math, where Brown's 5th- through 7th-grade proficiency ranges from 18.6% to 27.0% against state averages of 48.6% to 59.1%. Bright spots include West Main's attendance and 4th-grade performance, Brown's Algebra I results, and Ravenna High's graduation rate. Several results did improve year over year — Brown's Science 8 rose 13.1 points and ELA 8 rose 21.0 points — while West Main's 3rd-grade math fell 17.3 points.
