Summary:
Whitehall City has five schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade—three elementary, one middle, one high, and no alternative schools—and the district ranks 665 of 773 Ohio districts, at the 14th percentile with 1 star. Enrollment totals 3,472 students: Whitehall Yearling High School (993, grades 9–12), Rosemore Middle School (816, grades 6–8), Kae Avenue Elementary School (650, PK–1), Beechwood Elementary School (508, grades 2–5), and Etna Road Elementary School (505, grades 2–5). Every school with a recent rank is currently 1 star, and recent rank percentiles have drifted downward.
Among tested schools, Etna Road Elementary School is the strongest elementary: it beat the Whitehall City district average in all seven tested elementary subjects in 2025–2026, with the highest elementary results in 5th grade ELA (60.4%) and 4th grade math (54.2%). Beechwood Elementary School is the weakest tested elementary, scoring below the district average in all seven subjects, including the lowest elementary Math 5 (17.5%) and Math 3 (18.9%). Rosemore Middle School has a striking but narrow advanced-math result: 100% proficient in Algebra I in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and 100% in Geometry in 2025–2026, while its grade-level math scores are much lower (Math 6: 26.7%, Math 7: 20.3%, Math 8: 22.6%). Whitehall Yearling High School’s bright spot is American Government (74.1%, above the state’s 71.6%), but Geometry is only 17.6% proficient versus 43.3% statewide; Algebra I improved from 37.8% to 50.9% but is still below state.
Chronic absenteeism is a major issue at Whitehall Yearling High School, where it is 53.6%, far above the district rate of 34.2%. The other schools range from 20.8% at Etna Road Elementary School and 21.8% at Beechwood Elementary School to 29.3% at Kae Avenue Elementary School and 30.6% at Rosemore Middle School. Rosemore Middle School has the most favorable student-teacher ratio (14.3), while Beechwood Elementary School has the highest (19.9); Kae Avenue Elementary School has the lowest historical per-pupil spending ($7,032 from 2018–2019) and no state test scores because it serves PK–1. Free/reduced lunch is blank for all schools, so socioeconomic context is missing. Overall, every tested school is below the state average.
