Summary:
The McComb Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (including a smaller alternative high school), and no middle schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with the McComb Local Elementary School having a more racially diverse student body compared to the McComb Local Junior/Senior High School, which has a higher Hispanic population.
The McComb Local Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, with excellent test scores, particularly in 5th grade science (80.6% proficient) and 5th grade ELA (83.3% proficient), as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.0%. In contrast, the high school has more mixed academic performance, with some areas, such as 8th grade science (47.4% proficient), lagging behind state averages. However, the high school maintains a very high 98.1% four-year graduation rate.
While the elementary school has a high percentage of students (71.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it spends $10,107 per student, significantly more than the $7,372 per student spent at the high school. This difference in resource allocation may be an area to explore further to understand its potential impact on student outcomes across the district.
