Summary

Zanesville High School is a public high school serving 653 students in grades 9-12 in Zanesville, Ohio, which is part of the Zanesville City School District. While the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all subject areas. Additionally, Zanesville High School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as John Glenn High School, Tri-Valley High School, and Maysville High School, Zanesville High School's performance is generally lower, with lower state rankings, poorer test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's demographics, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged and special education students, may also play a role in its academic outcomes.

Zanesville High School's consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade indicates that the school has struggled to make significant improvements in its academic performance and overall quality. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement more comprehensive and targeted strategies that address the root causes of the school's issues and drive sustainable improvement, with a focus on addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by underperforming student subgroups.
