Summary:
Vinton County High School is the only high school in the Vinton County Local district, serving 491 students in grades 9–12 in Mc Arthur, Ohio — so high-school-level figures for the school and the district are essentially the same.
The school graduates nearly everyone: its 2025-26 graduation rate is 97.6%. At the same time, 23.4% of students are chronically absent, a rate 3.3 points above the district's 20.1% — about one in four students missing enough school to be flagged. On End-of-Course tests, average proficiency is 56.2% versus Ohio's 63.2%, a 7.0-point gap that was essentially unchanged from the prior year's 6.9-point gap. American History is the standout, exceeding the state average in both years (73.8% vs. 73.2%) and ranking as the school's highest subject. English II posted the largest one-year gain in the data, up 11.0 points to 56.9%, though still 5.8 points below the state. Math is the persistent weakness: Geometry (37.4%) is the lowest score in the data set and Algebra I (47.3%) trails Ohio by 14.3 points, the widest gap of any subject — and both declined year over year.
The school ranks 578 of 795 high schools, in the 27th percentile with 1 star, down from the 34th percentile two years ago — a slide driven partly by a shrinking pool of ranked schools rather than a big drop in raw rank. The district as a whole ranks 358 of 773 (54th percentile, 3 stars), which suggests performance erodes as students move up through the system. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, and per-student spending ($9,207) dates to 2018-19 and should not be treated as current.
