Summary

Gallia Academy High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Gallipolis, Ohio, with 489 students in the Gallipolis City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 649th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 18th percentile, with 1 star — placing it in the bottom fifth of the state and below its own district's overall rank. Its position has declined over the past decade, from the 59th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 18th percentile now.

Test results show math is the clearest weakness. On 2025–2026 End-of-Course exams, the school scored below the state in every reported subject. Algebra I proficiency was 34.5%, 27.1 points under the state and below every nearby school compared: River Valley High School at 43.9%, South Gallia High School at 54.5%, Symmes Valley High School at 61.5%, and Oak Hill Middle/High School at 70.6%. Geometry was also low at 29.7%. English II was comparatively the strongest subject at 58.7%, only 4 points below the state and above several nearby schools, though well behind Oak Hill's 81.3%. These math gaps have persisted across multiple years.

Graduation rates have improved substantially, from 77.8% in 2021–2022 to 91.2% in 2025–2026. Still, 33.3% of students are chronically absent — about one-third — which is 14.1 points above the district rate. Subgroup results are uneven: gifted and talented students rank in the 79th percentile statewide, while special education students rank in the 3rd percentile with 0 stars for three straight years. Compared with neighbors, Gallia Academy sits near the bottom overall; Oak Hill is higher-performing and improving, while River Valley ranks similarly low. Spending was $7,949 per student in 2018–2019, the lowest among nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio is mid-range and improving.
