Struthers City

The Struthers City school district in Ohio consists of three schools - Struthers Elementary School, Struthers Middle School, and Struthers High School. The district faces significant challenges, with all three schools consistently ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state and receiving only 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools, Struthers Middle School performed exceptionally well on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, with 88% and 100% proficiency rates in the last two school years, significantly higher than the Struthers City and Ohio state averages. Additionally, the school had relatively strong science proficiency rates for 5th grade, outperforming the state average. Struthers High School also achieved high proficiency rates in American Government (78.2%) and American History (83.2%) end-of-course exams, exceeding the state averages, and maintained a high 4-year graduation rate of 95.9% in 2024-2025.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at the middle and high school levels. Addressing these issues, such as improving academic performance, ensuring equitable access to resources, and tackling chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for the district to better serve the community and improve student outcomes.
