Summary

Meigs High School is a public high school in Pomeroy, Ohio, serving 518 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Meigs Local District, which is ranked 607 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Meigs High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with a ranking between 645-692 out of 800-867 schools.

The school faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 36.2% to 53.4%, well above the state average. Meigs High School's test scores are consistently below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates as low as 9.7% in Geometry. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has been declining, from 87.1% in 2022-2023 to 82.0% in 2024-2025, lower than nearby schools like Federal Hocking High School (88.5%) and River Valley High School (89.8%).

The challenges faced by Meigs High School may be unique to the school or the Meigs Local District, as the nearby schools generally outperform it across various metrics. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Meigs High School (around 95%) suggest that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces. Targeted interventions and improvements may be necessary to address these issues and better support the academic success of Meigs High School's students.
