Summary

Barberton High School is a public high school located in Barberton, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,188 students. The school is part of the Barberton City School District, which is ranked 491 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barberton High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, ranging from 414 to 621 out of 800-855 schools over the past 10 years, and its SchoolDigger rating has also been low, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5 during this period. The school has shown relatively stronger performance among its African American and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the top half of Ohio high schools for these groups in recent years. However, the school's performance for other student subgroups, such as White, Multi-racial, and Gifted and Talented students, has been in the bottom half of Ohio high schools. Barberton High School's four-year graduation rate has been steadily improving, from 82.8% in 2022-2023 to 85.6% in 2024-2025, but the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.5% to 39.2% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Wadsworth High School and Norton High School, which are within 5-6 miles of Barberton and consistently rank higher with better test scores and graduation rates, Barberton High School generally performs in the middle to lower range. However, the school outperforms some of the more challenged schools in the Akron City School District, such as Buchtel Community Learning Center and Akron Career Technical High School, which are also in close proximity. The high chronic absenteeism rate at Barberton High School is likely a significant factor in the school's lower academic performance and graduation rates.
