Stark High School

Summary:

Stark High School is a public charter high school located in Canton, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 115 students. The school has a diverse student population, with 58.26% White, 22.61% African American, 2.61% Hispanic, and 16.52% two or more races.

Despite its diverse student body, Stark High School is significantly underperforming compared to nearby schools in the region. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its four-year graduation rates have been abysmal, ranging from 7.9% to 18.9%, far below the state average. Stark High School also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, reaching 89.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, and its students have consistently scored well below the state averages on Ohio's End of Course exams.

The school's low socioeconomic status, as indicated by its ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools for students from low-income backgrounds, likely contributes to its poor academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Washington High School, East Canton High School, and GlenOak High School, all have higher statewide rankings, better graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and stronger test scores, suggesting that Stark High School is struggling to provide the necessary resources and support to help its students succeed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
