Summary

Girard Senior High School is a public high school serving 440 students in grades 9-12 in Girard, Ohio, which is part of the Girard City School District. The school faces several challenges, including declining graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and mixed academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools.

Girard Senior High School's 4-year graduation rate has dropped from 94.0% in 2023-2024 to 92.1% in 2024-2025. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.4% to 47.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school performs better in subjects like American History and English II, but struggles in areas like Geometry and Algebra I. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and disabled students performing relatively well, while gifted and talented students have struggled.

When compared to nearby schools, Girard Senior High School generally performs worse than higher-ranked schools like Mineral Ridge High School and McDonald High School, but better than lower-ranked schools like Chaney High and Liberty High School. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, it is unclear if this increased spending has translated into improved academic outcomes.
