Summary

Mississinawa Valley Junior/Senior High School is a public school located in Union City, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 276 students. The school is part of the Mississinawa Valley Local District, which is ranked 332 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mississinawa Valley Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, typically between the 400-500 range out of around 800-900 schools, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a brief period of 3-star ratings in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. In comparison, several nearby schools like Arcanum High School, Coldwater High School, and Versailles High School have higher statewide rankings (top 25-200) and 4-5 star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school has shown strong graduation rates, with a 100% four-year graduation rate in the most recent years, but has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 18.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the chronic absenteeism rates of top-performing nearby schools.

In Ohio state tests, Mississinawa Valley Junior/Senior High School has shown mixed performance compared to the state and local district averages, performing well above the state average in 8th grade science and 7th grade math, but struggling in several other subject areas, such as American Government, 8th grade English Language Arts, and Geometry. Nearby high-performing schools like Coldwater High School, Marion Local High School, and Versailles High School consistently outperform Mississinawa Valley Junior/Senior High School on state assessments. The school's higher proportion of low socioeconomic status students compared to the state may contribute to its academic performance challenges, and the significant performance gap between male and female students indicates the need for the school to focus on addressing equity and inclusion in its educational practices.
