Summary

Ashland High School is a public high school located in Ashland, Ohio, serving 892 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Ashland City School District, which is ranked 196 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ashland High School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic performance. The school boasts high graduation rates, ranging from 94.4% to 97.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Ashland High School students also consistently outperform the state average in Ohio State Tests across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 81.8% in American Government, 84.2% in American History, and 78.4% in Biology, compared to the state averages of 72.6%, 71.2%, and 65.4%, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Mansfield Senior High School, Ashland High School outperforms in terms of test scores and graduation rates. However, the school's performance for special education and disabled students is an area of concern, with lower rankings for these subgroups compared to the overall school performance. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, around 30%, suggests a more advantaged student population, which may contribute to its strong academic results.
