Summary:
Napoleon Area City has exactly one high school — Napoleon Junior/Senior High School — a combined junior/senior high serving grades 7–12 with 743 students in Napoleon, Ohio, part of the Napoleon Area City district, which ranks 203rd of 773 Ohio districts (74th percentile) and holds a 4-star rating.
Because it is the only high school in the area, Napoleon Junior/Senior High School essentially defines the district's high-school results. It is a consistently above-state performer: in 2025–2026 it exceeded Ohio's proficiency rate in 10 of 11 tested subjects, and in 2024–2025 it beat the state in all 11. Its strongest advantages are in Biology (86.4% proficient vs. 67.0% statewide), 7th grade Math (68.9% vs. 48.6%), 7th grade English Language Arts (78.7% vs. 62.7%), and Algebra I (77.0% vs. 61.6%). American Government and American History are also strong at 83.0% and 83.1%. The one exception was 8th grade Math, where 51.3% proficiency fell just 0.7 points below the state's 52.0%. Geometry, at 50.7%, is the lowest end-of-course result but still above the state's 43.3%.
Results are not uniformly improving year over year. The biggest gains from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 came in English II (+9.7 points), Biology (+7.8), and American History (+4.5), while 8th grade ELA (-9.8), Geometry (-5.8), and 7th grade ELA (-3.8) softened. The graduation rate is 93.8%, equal to the district rate, but chronic absenteeism is 13.0% — 3.3 points above the district's 9.7% and worth watching. About 44.01% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio is 14.9, and per-student spending was $8,697 in 2018–2019. Overall, this is a 4-star, consistently above-state school, with 8th grade math, Geometry, 8th grade ELA, and absenteeism as the areas to monitor.
