Summary

Chalker High School is a small, rural 9–12 school in Southington, Ohio, serving 127 students as part of Southington Local schools, where nearly every student (97.6%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch and per-pupil spending is about $9,970 — modest resources paired with near-universal economic disadvantage. The district ranks 246th of 773 Ohio districts (68th percentile, 3 stars), and Chalker's overall performance places it third among its nearby peer schools.

Academically, Chalker outperforms the state in five of six End-of-Course subjects. English II proficiency is 84.8% (state 62.7%) and Geometry is 64.5% (state 43.3%) — the highest English II result of any school in the comparison group, ahead of LaBrae High School (71.1%) and Champion High School (68.2%). Most striking: Chalker's low-income students rank in the 90th percentile statewide, and the school ranks above Bristol High School, Newton Falls High School, Windham High School, and Warren G Harding High School — all of which serve fewer low-income students. Biology is the one weak spot, at 62.5% versus the state's 67.0%.

Chronic absenteeism is 28.8%, consistently about 10 points above the district's own rate, though it has improved from 39.9% in 2021-22; it remains better than Newton Falls, Harding, and River Gate High School. The graduation rate is 92.1% and has trended upward. One thing to watch: boys rank 78th percentile while girls rank 48th, a 30-point gap that has widened recently. Because Chalker is small, single-year numbers can swing on just a few students — three-year trends are more reliable.
