Summary

Buckeye Local High School is a public high school in Rayland, Ohio, serving 359 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Buckeye Local District, which is ranked 529 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Buckeye Local High School has faced some challenges in recent years. Its four-year graduation rate, while improving, is still lower than the state average and nearby schools like Harrison Central Junior/Senior High School (99.0%) and Shadyside High School (98.2%). The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 43.2% to 50.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools.

Academically, Buckeye Local High School's test scores are consistently below the state average across all subject areas and grade levels. However, the school's gifted and talented students have shown relatively strong performance, with a ranking as high as 75 out of 308 Ohio high schools in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may have the capacity to support high-achieving students, even if it struggles to serve the broader student population. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its special education, low socioeconomic status, and disabled student populations consistently ranking in the bottom half of Ohio high schools.
