Summary:
Nordonia Hills City is a seven-school Ohio district serving about 3,405 students, with three K–4 elementaries (Ledgeview Elementary School, Rushwood Elementary School, and Northfield Elementary School), two middle-level schools (Lee Eaton Intermediate School for grades 5–6 and Nordonia Middle School for grades 6–8), and a high school band made up of Nordonia High School and the small virtual Nordonia Digital Knights Academy. As a whole, Nordonia Hills City ranks 85th of 773 Ohio districts — 89th percentile, 4 stars — but building-level results range widely.
The academic standouts are easy to spot. Lee Eaton Intermediate School sits at the 97th–98th percentile with 5 stars three years running, with 5th-grade ELA at 90.7% proficient and 6th-grade Math at 82.9% against a 56.2% state rate. Nordonia Middle School climbed to 5 stars and posts 98% Algebra I and 100% Geometry proficiency. Among elementaries, Northfield Elementary School ranks highest at the 91st percentile with the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (7.5%), while Rushwood Elementary School slipped from the 98th to the 83rd percentile with broad score declines.
Almost every concern concentrates at Nordonia High School: Algebra I proficiency of 59.4% is the only below-state result in the district (state 61.6%), and chronic absenteeism of 21.1% is well above the 13.8% district rate and roughly 2.8 times Northfield's. Still, the high school graduates 97.7% of students, improved from the 72nd to the 81st percentile, and beats the state by 10–24 points in every other subject. Note that per-student spending figures date to 2018-2019, and Nordonia Digital Knights Academy (35 students) has no test scores or rankings, so it cannot be fairly judged either way.
