Grandview Heights Schools

Grandview Heights Schools is a high-performing Ohio district with three schools — Stevenson Elementary (PK–3), Larson Middle School (4–8), and Grandview Heights High School (9–12) — serving about 1,131 students. It ranks 31st of 773 Ohio districts, in the 96th percentile with a 5-star rating. Larson is the largest with 453 students (40.1%), followed by Stevenson with 340 (30.1%) and the high school with 338 (29.9%). Because Larson serves grades 4–8, it reports both upper-elementary and middle-grade test results.

Every reported 2025–2026 test score across the three schools is above the Ohio state average, with gaps ranging from about +11 to +38 percentage points. Stevenson Elementary has the district’s highest 3rd-grade proficiency — 94.4% in ELA vs. 63.4% statewide and 91% in math vs. 62.1% — plus the lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.2%. Larson Middle School posts 100% Algebra I proficiency in both years, with strong ELA 5th (93.6%), ELA 4th (92.9%), math 4th (90.5%), and math 5th (89.7%). Its lowest score, 7th-grade math at 60%, is still above the state average. Grandview Heights High School reports a 100.0% graduation rate and strong American Government (98.8%), American History (95.7%), English II (92.3%), and Biology (90.6%) results, though Geometry (68.5%) and Algebra I (75%) are weaker.

Compared with its own recent history, the high school’s rank slipped from the 98th percentile in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 to the 94th percentile in 2025–2026, though it remains 5 stars; its EOCs also declined, including Algebra I (87% to 75%), Geometry (79.7% to 68.5%), and Biology (96% to 90.6%). Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern: 11.4% at the high school, versus 6.6% districtwide, 5.1% at Larson Middle School, and 4.2% at Stevenson Elementary. Larson also saw 5th-grade Science drop from 96.6% to 84%, still 21.3 points above the state average. Stevenson’s only listed rank history is from 2003–2004 and should not be used to judge current quality. Resource data favors the high school — lowest student/teacher ratio (13.3) and highest per-student spending ($16,068 in 2018–2019) — but that spending is historical. Free/reduced lunch is 5.88% at Stevenson and 7.1% at the high school; Larson’s value is not reported.
