McKinley High School faces several challenges, including a relatively homogeneous student population, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.83%) compared to the state average. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with a ranking between 387 and 597 over the past 10 years, and its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For example, the school ranks in the bottom half of Ohio high schools for female, male, white, and multi-racial students, but performs better for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top third and top half, respectively. Additionally, McKinley High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 87.1% to 92.1% over the past 5 years, which is generally lower than the state average, and the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 26.4% in 2019-2020 to 54.9% in 2022-2023, well above the state average.
When compared to nearby high schools, such as Lordstown High School, which is only 5.58 miles away, McKinley High School generally performs worse on key metrics such as statewide ranking, graduation rates, and test scores. However, the school's performance for African American and Hispanic students is relatively stronger compared to its overall performance, suggesting that the school may be providing more targeted support for these subgroups. Addressing the challenges faced by McKinley High School, including the high chronic absenteeism rate and the disparities in academic performance across different student subgroups, will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes and opportunities for the students at the school.
