Summary

Manchester High School is a 7th–12th grade school in Manchester, Ohio, a small community in Adams County served by the Manchester Local district, with about 335 students. Statewide, the school ranked 509th of 795 Ohio schools in 2025–26, which puts it at the 36th percentile with 2 stars; its district ranked 447th of 773. Historically the school sat much higher — at the 68th percentile in 2015–16 — and has generally been in the 34th–47th percentile range since 2017–18.

The school's standout strengths are graduation and attendance. Its 98.3% graduation rate is the highest among nearby schools with reported data, ahead of North Adams High School at 97.7%, Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Junior/Senior High School at 97.1%, Eastern High School and Peebles High School at 96.6%, and West Union High School at 88.5%. Chronic absenteeism, at 13.4%, is the second-lowest nearby, far below Peebles (26.4%), North Adams (18.9%), West Union (27.8%), and Ripley (35.2%). In coursework, American Government is a clear bright spot: 81.8% proficient, above the state's 71.6% and the highest among these nearby schools. English II and most middle-grade math and ELA results are at or above the state level, and 7th grade math jumped from 35.4% to 60.5% in one year.

Academics overall remain middle-to-lower in this group, with Eastern, Peebles, and North Adams ranked higher. Geometry is the most persistent weakness: 22.1% proficient in 2025–26 against a state figure of 43.3%, and below the state in each of the past four years. American History (61.4%) also trails the state and most nearby schools. Among student groups, low-income students are served relatively well (49th percentile), while results for students with disabilities have swung widely from year to year.
