Summary

Piketon Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 656 students in Piketon, Ohio. The school is part of the Scioto Valley Local District, which is ranked 567 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Piketon Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, ranging from 476 to 663 out of 800-867 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. While female students have performed slightly better than male students, and special education and low-income students have performed above the overall school ranking, the school's gifted and talented students have struggled, ranking significantly lower than the state average for this student group. The school's performance on Ohio State Tests has been mixed, with some subject areas like American Government and Biology performing above the state average, while others like Mathematics and English Language Arts lag behind.

Compared to nearby schools, Piketon Junior/Senior High School generally performs in the middle to lower range, with Northwest High School and Valley High School outperforming Piketon in several academic areas. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which is above the state average, could be a contributing factor to its lower academic outcomes and may warrant further investigation. Addressing the needs of all student populations, including gifted and talented students, could be key focus areas for improvement at Piketon Junior/Senior High School.
