But it trails Upper Arlington High School in Geometry (68.5% vs. 79.5%). Against West High School, and many nearby charter, alternative, and other schools such as Capital High School, Early College Academy, Franklinton Prep High School, Franklinton High School, Central High School, and Flex High School, Grandview Heights is in a different tier, with far higher proficiency, a higher graduation rate, and much lower chronic absenteeism (11.4% vs. 84.1% at West High School and 95.3% at Capital High School).

Grandview Heights is small and resource-rich: 338 students, a 13.3 student-teacher ratio, 7.1% free/reduced lunch, and $16,068 per-student spending (2018-2019). It is smaller than Upper Arlington High School and West High School, but has a lower student-teacher ratio than both. Main opportunities are math relative to its own district and Upper Arlington High School, chronic absenteeism relative to its district's 6.6%, and subgroup consistency. Female and special education students rank very high (95th and 94th percentiles), while male and gifted students rank lower than the school's overall 94th percentile. Nearby comparisons should be read carefully because several schools are not comprehensive, spending data is older, and small enrollment can make year-to-year subgroup rankings volatile.
