Summary:
The 45623 zip code is home to a single high school, South Gallia High School, which serves the Gallia County Local district. With an enrollment of 142 students, South Gallia High School has a predominantly White student population (98.59%) and a strong 93.8% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average. However, the school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9% and academic performance that lags behind the state in most subjects, despite higher-than-average spending per student.
While South Gallia High School outperforms its local district, the school's lack of diversity and academic performance gaps suggest areas for improvement. The school performs best in American Government and American History, but struggles most in Geometry. Addressing the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate should be a priority, as it can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
Despite the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, the data indicates that South Gallia High School may need to re-evaluate how it allocates resources to better support student learning and achievement. Continued focus on improving areas of weakness, such as performance gaps and student engagement, could help the school better serve its students and community.
