High Schools in Hamilton City

The Hamilton City school district in Ohio is home to two high schools: Hamilton High School and Miami School. While both schools serve grades 9-12, they exhibit stark differences in their academic performance and overall school rankings.

Hamilton High School is the larger of the two, with an enrollment of 2,524 students. It consistently ranks higher in the statewide school rankings, though still in the bottom half of Ohio high schools. The school's test scores are relatively higher compared to the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and Algebra I. However, its chronic absenteeism rate of 32.1% is higher than the state average.

In contrast, Miami School is significantly smaller, with only 157 students. It has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly lower compared to the district and state averages across all subject areas. Despite spending more per student than Hamilton High School, Miami School's academic performance is significantly worse, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the schools' outcomes.
