OHIO VALLEY CAREER & TECHNICAL CENTER

Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center is a Title I public high school that is part of the Adams County Ohio Valley Local school district, located in West Union, OH with about 250 students offering grade levels from 11th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
