Summary

Centerville High School in Centerville, OH, is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 in the Centerville City district with 2,720 students, making it the largest school in its local comparison group. In 2025–2026 it ranks 88th of 795 Ohio high schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), while the district ranks 142nd of 773. The school posts a 97.4% graduation rate, 18.4% chronic absenteeism, and proficiency above the state average in every reported Ohio State Tests End-of-Course subject. Even so, it ranks 5th among 11 nearby schools, behind Oakwood High School, Bellbrook High School, Springboro High School, and Waynesville High School, all 5-star schools. Its historical rank slipped from 46th in 2015–2016 to 144th in 2023–2024 before rebounding to 88th.

Centerville’s clearest academic gap is mathematics, especially Geometry: 64.3% school vs. 68.1% district, and Algebra I: 81.9% vs. 87.9% district. In other subjects, Centerville matches its district and stays well above the state; Geometry trails Oakwood High School, Bellbrook High School, Springboro High School, Waynesville High School, and Kettering Fairmont High School. Chronic absenteeism is another relative drag at 18.4%, above the district’s 14.6% and higher than Oakwood, Springboro, and Bellbrook, though it has improved from 29.8% in 2021–2022. The school spends $12,150 per student, second only to Oakwood in this group, but Springboro earns a higher overall rank with $7,421 per student. Centerville’s student-teacher ratio is 19.6, moderate-high locally.

Subgroup performance is generally strong but uneven. Students in special education and English learners rank around the 87th–88th percentile, while low-income students rank lower at the 75th percentile. The school’s free/reduced lunch rate has risen from 14.63% in 2022–2023 to 24.34% in 2024–2025, which may add pressure. Overall, Centerville is a strong, large comprehensive high school: top 12% statewide, with a high graduation rate and solid outcomes compared with Miamisburg High School, West Carrollton High School, Belmont High School, and Dunbar Early College High School. But it sits below the top suburban cluster locally, and math plus attendance are the most actionable areas for improvement.
