Summary:
The Clearview Local school district in Ohio is home to two high schools: Clearview High School and Clearview Local Schools. While both schools have a respectable 95.6% four-year graduation rate, they face significant challenges, including low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Clearview High School, the larger of the two with 340 students, struggles academically, ranking 662 out of 855 Ohio high schools and performing below the state average on most Ohio State Tests, particularly in Geometry and Algebra I. In contrast, Clearview Local Schools, a public virtual high school with just 31 students, mirrors the performance of its larger counterpart, with similar graduation rates and chronic absenteeism concerns.
The high chronic absenteeism rates of over 40% at both schools are a significant concern and likely contribute to the low test scores. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism should be a priority for the Clearview Local district to improve overall academic performance and ensure students are meeting essential educational standards, even as the district maintains its focus on high graduation rates.
