Summary:
The Ridgedale Local school district in Ohio serves students from two schools: Ridgedale Elementary School and Ridgedale Junior/Senior High School. The data shows a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others that could use improvement.
Ridgedale Junior/Senior High School has shown progress, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating on the state-wide school digger ranking. The high school also has impressive test scores, particularly in American Government and American History, outperforming state averages. In contrast, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of over 20%, which is a concern. Ridgedale Elementary School stands out for its strong 5th grade Science and 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rates, though it lags behind in other subject areas.
While the schools have higher-than-average spending per student and relatively small class sizes, they also serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates over 58%. The data suggests the district may benefit from focusing on improving student attendance and addressing academic gaps, particularly in mathematics, to better support student success across all grade levels and subject areas.
