High Schools in South-Western City

The South-Western City district in Ohio is home to four high schools: Westland High School, Grove City High School, Central Crossing High School, and Franklin Heights High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the South-Western City district.

Among the four high schools, Grove City High School stands out as the top performer, with a statewide ranking of 224 out of 855 Ohio high schools and a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized test scores, with 87.2% of students proficient or better in American Government, compared to 71.8% for the South-Western City district and 72.6% for the state of Ohio.

While the four-year graduation rate across all high schools in the district is 89.9%, which is above the state average, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools. The school with the highest free and reduced lunch rate, Franklin Heights High School, also has the lowest standardized test scores, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 31.0% is a concern that may be contributing to the observed performance differences.
