Summary:
The Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Local school district in Ohio serves students from elementary through high school, with one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The data reveals a mixed picture of academic performance across the district, with the Ripley Union Lewis Huntington Elementary School standing out as a stronger performer, while the middle and high schools face challenges in certain subject areas.
The elementary school consistently demonstrates strong test scores, with 5th-grade science proficiency rates exceeding the state average by over 6 percentage points. The school also performs well in math and English language arts, often beating state averages in 3rd-6th grade proficiency rates. In contrast, the middle school struggles with math proficiency, with only 25-29% of 7th and 8th graders meeting standards. The high school, while boasting a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.3%, has a lower 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and faces challenges in American History and American Government end-of-course exams.
A concerning trend across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rates, which reach 25.1% in 2024-2025. This suggests the schools serve a high-need student population, and addressing this issue should be a priority. Additionally, the district has seen a decline in SchoolDigger ratings for all three schools, indicating a need for the district to closely examine the factors contributing to this trend and implement strategies for improvement.
