Summary

Rittman Academy is a small public charter high school in Rittman, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with just 37 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates, extremely high chronic absenteeism, and academic performance well below state averages.

Rittman Academy has a student population that is 97.3% white, much higher than the state average. Its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 41.7% and 61.8% in recent years, far below the state average.
