Summary

Bay High School is a public 9–12 school in Bay Village, Ohio, serving 684 students in the Bay Village City School District, a small, relatively affluent suburban community on Cleveland's west side. It is one of Ohio's top-performing high schools, ranked #16 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (98th percentile, 5 stars), while its district ranks #9 of 773 statewide. That standing is remarkably consistent — the school has never fallen below #27 statewide in any reported year, including a #10 rank in 2018–2019, and graduation rates have stayed between 96.2% and 99.1% over the past five reported years.

Among nearby schools, only Rocky River High School (#10) edges ahead; Avon High School (#41), Avon Lake High School (#63), and Westlake High School (#75) follow further back, while Lakewood High School (#317) and Brookside High School (#356) trail sharply. On 2025–2026 state End-of-Course exams, Bay's proficiency leads the state by 22.9 to 45.4 points in every subject. Geometry is the standout at 88.7% proficient versus 43.3% statewide, and is #1 among nearby schools, as are American Government (98.8%) and Biology (96.9%). The relative soft spots are still strong — English II at 90.1%, slightly behind Rocky River, Avon, and Avon Lake, and Algebra I at 87.5%, behind Rocky River's 93.8%.

Chronic absenteeism is 12.3% in 2025–2026 — the lowest among the listed nearby high schools and down from 16.9% in 2021–2022, though still above the district's 7.5%. Bay also has the lowest student-teacher ratio nearby (13.1) and the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (7.31%). Its subgroup results are a real differentiator: low-income students rank #8 of 761 and special-education students #4 of 575 statewide, both in the top 1%, suggesting the school serves a broad range of students well. Per-student spending was $12,437 in 2018–2019, mid-to-high compared with neighbors.
