Summary:
Montpelier Exempted Village contains just one high school, Montpelier High School, a combined 7–12 building with 316 students, so families in this small district have a single school to consider rather than several to compare against each other. The most useful comparisons are therefore between this school and Ohio statewide averages, and between one year and the next. Because the building serves grades 7 and 8 alongside the high school grades, its results mix middle-school and high-school outcomes.
Several results are genuine strengths. In 2025–2026, American Government reached 100% proficient against 71.6% statewide, English II was 68.7% versus 62.7%, Algebra I was 64.4% versus 61.6%, Geometry was 44.4% versus 43.3%, and 8th grade English language arts and science also edged above state averages. The 2025–2026 graduation rate is 90.4%, matching the district. However, the school's statewide ranking has slipped steadily — from the 77th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 61st in 2024–2025 and the 50th in 2025–2026 — with its star rating falling from four stars to three, leaving it near the state median.
The clearest academic weak spots are middle-school mathematics and Biology. Eighth grade math was 34.7% proficient versus 52% statewide, a 17.3 percentage-point gap, and Biology was 11.3 points below state. Seventh grade math also trailed. Chronic absenteeism is a notable concern at 20.9% for the school, compared with 13.1% for the district. On the positive side, the student-teacher ratio of 10.5 suggests favorable staffing, though per-pupil spending of $10,562 dates from 2018–2019 and is too old to reflect current conditions. Free and reduced-price lunch data is not reported, so economic context is unavailable.
