Summary

Ashland High School is a public high school in Ashland, OH, serving grades 9–12 with 910 students as part of the Ashland City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 350th of 795 Ohio high schools (56th percentile, 3 stars), down from 2020–2021 through 2024–2025, when it was at the 72nd–77th percentile with 4 stars. Graduation remains strong at 96.3%, and chronic absenteeism improved from 35.1% in 2021–2022 to 14.6% in 2025–2026, though it is above the district’s 12.5%. The school is above the state in every End-of-Course exam, including American Government 79.7% vs. 71.6%, Biology 78.7% vs. 67.0%, and Geometry 56.8% vs. 43.3%.

Locally, Ashland High School is the largest high school in its comparison group and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 17.6, compared with Mansfield Senior High School at 11.3 and Lucas High School at 10.7. Its 96.3% graduation rate beats Mansfield Senior High School (93.7%), Cypress High School (83.7%), and Ashland County Community Academy (88.9%), but trails smaller nearby schools such as Hillsdale 7-12 (100.0%), Northwestern High School (99.0%), Mapleton High School (98.8%), Madison High School (98.2%), and Crestview High School (97.5%). Attendance is a relative strength: 14.6% chronic absenteeism is better than Madison High School (26.4%) and Mansfield Senior High School (29.8%). Geometry is the school’s standout academic advantage, with 56.8% proficient leading every nearby school with reported data.

Academically, the local picture is mixed. English II is a relative weakness: 64.5% is above the state but below Lucas High School (84.2%), Northwestern High School (78.0%), Mapleton High School (72.1%), Crestview High School (70.6%), Hillsdale 7-12 (68.4%), and Madison High School (66.7%). Algebra I and Biology are mid-pack, while American Government is relatively strong at 79.7%. The 2025–2026 rank drop was concentrated in English II (64.5%, down from 74.5%) and American History (77.9%, down from 84.2%). Gifted students ranked 71st percentile (4 stars), but special education students ranked 16th percentile (1 star), a persistent gap. Low-income students also declined to 49th percentile. Overall, the school is solid, but parents should note the achievement decline, the special education gap, and that smaller nearby schools often outperform it in English II and History.
