Summary:
The Washington Local school district in Ohio has only one high school, Whitmer High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,229 students. While the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 566 out of 867 Ohio high schools in 2022-2023 to 623 out of 855 in 2024-2025, it maintains a 2-star rating.
Whitmer High School's academic performance is generally below the state average, with lower-than-average student achievement on Ohio state tests across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3% in the 2024-2025 school year, which could be contributing to the lower academic outcomes. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 59.08% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating potential socioeconomic factors that may impact student learning and achievement.
Despite these challenges, Whitmer High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year was 87.3%, which is slightly below the state average. The school's spending per student was $10,161 in the 2018-2019 school year, and the student-teacher ratio is 20.4 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year. To improve the school's performance, the district may need to implement targeted strategies to address student engagement, academic support, and socioeconomic factors that are impacting student success.
