Summary:
The data set provided information about a single high school, Minerva High School, located in the 44657 zip code. Serving grades 9-12, Minerva High School is the only high school in the Minerva Local school district, which serves the Minerva, Ohio area.
Minerva High School has an enrollment of 430 students, with a predominantly White student population (95.12%). The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and American Government. However, the school maintains a strong four-year graduation rate of 95.8%, despite a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.9%. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as over 57% of Minerva High School students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
While Minerva High School has some areas of strength, such as its high graduation rate, the data suggests the school faces challenges in providing a high-quality education and preparing students for college and career readiness. Addressing the academic performance gaps, high absenteeism, and the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population could be key priorities for the school and the Minerva Local district to improve educational outcomes for the community.
