Summary

River High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Switzerland of Ohio Local School District. With 181 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Despite its challenges, River High School has seen some notable achievements. The school's 4-year graduation rates have steadily improved, reaching 97.0% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, River High School generally performs better than the Switzerland of Ohio Local School District on state assessments, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and English II. However, the school struggles in math subjects like Geometry and Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average.

One area of concern for River High School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.6% to 40.0% over the past few years. This is higher than its peers in the district, such as Monroe Central High School and Beallsville High School. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the gifted and talented, low socioeconomic status, and white student populations performing in the bottom quarter of Ohio high schools.
