Summary

East Palestine High School is a public high school serving 264 students in grades 9-12 in East Palestine, Ohio, which is part of the East Palestine City School District. The district is ranked 523 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While East Palestine High School has seen steady improvement in its 4-year graduation rate, increasing from 85.2% in 2022-2023 to 92.5% in 2024-2025, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.4% to 45.7% over the past few years. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state averages, with the most significant gaps in Geometry (24.3% proficient vs. 42.8% state) and Algebra I (27.5% proficient vs. 59.4% state) in 2024-2025. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students and special education students having lower rankings compared to the overall school.

When compared to nearby schools, such as South Range High School, which has a 98.9% graduation rate and significantly higher test scores across all subjects, East Palestine High School generally performs worse on key metrics. The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.62% to 53.41% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the challenges it faces. However, the school's spending per student of $9,541 in 2018-2019 is on par with the nearby schools, indicating that funding is not a significant factor in the school's performance.
