Summary:
The zip code 45623 is home to a single high school, South Gallia High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This small school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 98.59% of students identifying as White. While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 90.3% is slightly above the state average, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
South Gallia High School's academic performance is mixed, with some subject areas scoring above the Gallia County Local district and state averages, while others lag behind. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.1% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance and ranking. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending of $11,991, the school's low ranking and mixed academic performance suggest that the funding may not be effectively translated into improved educational outcomes.
While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1 could be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and support programs, the lack of racial diversity and the inconsistent academic performance across subject areas indicate a need for a more comprehensive approach to improving student outcomes at South Gallia High School.
