Summary:
Reading Community City, Ohio contains a single public high school, Reading Junior Senior High School, a combined junior/senior high serving grades 7 through 12 with 654 students on East Columbia Avenue in Reading. Because the Reading Community City district has only this one school, its results are the district's results: the school ranks 401 of 795 Ohio schools, 50th percentile, with 2 stars, after a 2024-2025 year of 3 stars at the 54th percentile.
The upper grades are where this school performs best. Its high-school End-of-Course exams average 67.0% proficient against a state average of 63.2%, with 7 of 11 reported subjects at or above state. Algebra I is the standout at 78.9% versus the state's 61.6% — a margin of more than 17 points that has held steady for two years. American Government (79.2% vs. 71.6%), American History (76.3% vs. 73.2%), English II (66.9% vs. 62.7%), 8th grade ELA (62.7% vs. 58.3%) and 8th grade science (64.2% vs. 61.2%) also beat the state, and Biology matched it exactly at 67.0%.
Math below Algebra I is the persistent weak spot. Eighth grade math sits at 37.3% against a 52.0% state figure, 7th grade math at 37.7% versus 48.6% (down from 55.9% a year earlier), and Geometry at 33.6% versus 43.3% — a gap of nearly 10 points that has repeated for two years. The internal spread between Algebra I (78.9%) and Geometry (33.6%) is 45 points within the same department. Meanwhile the 97.1% graduation rate is a bright spot, but chronic absenteeism of 38.1% runs 7.3 points above the district's 30.8%. With about 51% of students on free or reduced lunch and a 14.9:1 student-teacher ratio, this is a typical Ohio population — which makes the math gaps worth raising with the school directly.
