Summary:
Maplewood Local is a small Ohio district with just two schools — Maplewood Elementary School (grades K–6, 356 students) and Maplewood High School (grades 7–12, 245 students) — serving roughly 601 students in total. The district is rated 5 stars and ranks 48th of 773 Ohio districts, or the 94th percentile statewide. Because there is only one school at each level, school-level and district-level test results are nearly identical for almost every test.
Maplewood High School is the clear standout: ranked 17th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025‑2026 — the 98th percentile, 5 stars, roughly the top 2% in the state — after climbing from 47th and then 34th over three years. Its graduation rate is 98.1%, and it scored 100% proficient in American History and at least 97% in Geometry (97.6) and English II (97.5). By comparison, Maplewood Elementary School ranks 219th of 1,560 elementary schools (86th percentile, 4 stars, top ~14%) and has been stable rather than rising (87th, 87th, 86th percentile). Notably, the elementary earns 4 stars while the district earns 5 — the district rating is being carried by the high school. Both schools beat state averages in every subject by wide margins: the high school by about 28 points overall, the elementary by about 21.
Math is the district's comparative strength, and ELA its relative soft spot — most visibly in 6th grade ELA, which sits at 58.7% versus a 56% state average, under 3 points apart. The Geometry margin (+54.3 points over state) is the largest gap in the data. Chronic absenteeism is close at both schools (14.8% elementary, 16.0% high school, against a 15.2% district rate), and the high school has the smaller student–teacher ratio (12.2 vs. 14.8). Two caveats for parents: free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for both schools, so that is unknown rather than zero, and spending data dates to 2018‑2019. With small cohorts, single-grade swings should be read cautiously — the percentile trends are the better signal.
