Summary

Girard Senior High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in Girard, Ohio — a small city in the Youngstown area — with 421 students in the Girard City School District, and it currently ranks mid-pack among Ohio high schools (448th of 795, 44th percentile, 2 stars).

Girard's results are mixed, and the split is easy to see. In 2025–2026, English II (73.4% proficient), American History (82.9%), and Biology (76.5%) all beat state averages, and English II was higher than at Hubbard High School, Mathews High School, Youngstown Rayen Early College High School, Chaney High, McKinley High School, and Liberty High School. Math is the opposite story: Geometry (27% vs. 43.3% state) and Algebra I (50.6% vs. 61.6% state) fall well below state, and Geometry is lower than at every nearby school with available data. Math has lagged for several years running, making it the clearest barrier to a higher overall rank.

Other measures are a mixed bag. The 2025–2026 graduation rate is 94.9% — higher than Mathews (92.3%), McKinley (89.8%), and Chaney (89.7%), lower than Hubbard (98.7%), Mineral Ridge High School (100%), Rayen (98.4%), Howland High School (96.5%), and McDonald High School (96.8%), and tied with Liberty (94.9%). Chronic absenteeism is 37.4% — down sharply from 56.6% in 2021–2022, but still well above the district's 24.7% and higher than most nearby schools. Notably, 99.29% of Girard students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, far more than at McDonald, Howland, Mineral Ridge, or Hubbard, which makes the above-state English, history, and biology results stand out. Classes are relatively small (12:1 student-teacher ratio), and results for low-income students rose from the 32nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 61st in 2025–2026. Girard was a 4-star, 81st-percentile school in 2017–2018; today it sits at 2 stars. The clearest paths forward are math achievement and continued attendance improvement.
