Summary

Rutherford B Hayes High School is a public high school at 289 Euclid Ave in Delaware, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 1,612 students in the Delaware City district. In 2025–26 it ranked 173rd of 795 Ohio high schools — 78th percentile, 4 stars — well above its own district, which ranked 299th of 773 (61st percentile, 3 stars). Hayes has climbed steadily, from the 46th percentile and 2 stars in 2015–16, through 60th in 2021–22, to 78th percentile and 4 stars today.

That puts Hayes roughly level with Worthington Kilbourne High School (78th) and Big Walnut High School (79th), clearly ahead of Dublin Scioto High School (57th), but below the Olentangy and Dublin cluster — Olentangy Liberty High School, Olentangy High School, Olentangy Berlin High School, Dublin Jerome High School, and Orange High School. Hayes beat the state average in every End-of-Course subject in 2025–26, including American Government 83.6, American History 85.5, Biology 82.0, English II 77.7, Geometry 58.9, and Algebra I 74.3. Math is the soft spot — Geometry and Algebra I trail the district's own averages (63.8 and 81.3) and most higher-ranked neighbors — though both have improved substantially over three years. Graduation is a strength at 96.8%, near Buckeye Valley Local High School's 96.9%.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest concern at 24.0%, higher than nearly every nearby school except Worthington Kilbourne (25.6%) and Dublin Scioto (33.5%), and far above the Olentangy schools (12.2–18.2%) and Big Walnut (18.4%). Subgroup results show real strengths — African American students at the 93rd percentile (5 stars) and special education students at the 83rd percentile (4 stars) — while low-income students are the main gap, at 46th percentile and 2 stars, down from 61st. Hayes achieves this with lower per-student spending and a higher low-income share than several higher-ranked neighbors.
