Summary

Deer Park Junior/Senior High School is a combined grades 7–12 campus of 475 students at 8351 Plainfield Rd in Cincinnati, serving as the secondary school of the Deer Park Community City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 479th of 795 Ohio high schools — 40th percentile, 2 stars — after a 24-point percentile drop from the 64th percentile the prior year, the steepest single-year fall in its record. The school's strongest number is its graduation rate: 96.0%, statistically even with Sycamore High School and Indian Hill High School and far ahead of Norwood High School and Woodward Career Technical High School. Chronic absenteeism improved to 30.9% from 36.5%, though it stays above the district's 23.1%.

Math and the junior high years are genuine bright spots. Algebra I proficiency has risen four straight years — 49.1% to 66.7% to 67.8% to 72.7% — now above the state (61.6%) and ahead of Wyoming High School and Indian Hill. Eighth-grade science (71.7%) and math (58.2%) lead the entire comparison group, and seventh-grade math (50.9%) far outpaces Lockland Junior Senior High School. Deer Park also beats the state in American Government, American History, and Algebra I. Its student/teacher ratio of 11.7 is the lowest of ten nearby schools, and at $11,257 per pupil it spends roughly $1,000–$5,900 less than Madeira High School, Sycamore, Wyoming, and Indian Hill while matching them on completion.

The clearest vulnerability is upper-grade literacy. Deer Park trails the state in English II (54.0%), Biology (57.7%), and Geometry (37.2%), which has sat in the mid-30s for four years. Its closest demographic twin, Reading Junior Senior High School, serves a nearly identical population (50.9% low-income vs. 51.2%), spends about $540 less per pupil, and beats Deer Park on every literacy measure — English II 66.9 vs. 54.0, ELA 8 62.7 vs. 58.1, ELA 7 54.7 vs. 50.9, Biology 67.0 vs. 57.7 — while Deer Park wins math and science. Notably, this year's slide was broad: low-income students fell from the 69th to the 35th percentile and students with disabilities from the 78th to the 49th, while one student group improved to the 80th percentile, 4 stars.

Open Quote As a parent I love the fact that at any time I can call or go up to the school and meet with my child's teacher if I have any questions or concerns. If I see something in my child's work that is not working the teachers at the school are always willing to help and willing to offer any ideas to solve any situation. Small town with a big heart to help all the kids excel both in and out of the classroom. Close Quote
