Summary

Heath High School is a 9–12 school of 447 students in the small Heath City district in Licking County, Ohio, and in 2025-2026 it ranked 114th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 86th percentile, with 4 stars. The headline here is the trend line: ten years ago Heath sat at the 36th percentile, and it has improved in seven of the last ten reported years, climbing 388 places. The 2025-2026 ranking is the best in the school's entire series.

On Ohio's state End-of-Course exams, Heath students average 80.7% proficiency versus 63.2% statewide — roughly 17 points higher. Only Granville High School (6.2 miles away) outperforms Heath locally, while Heath's two closest neighbors, Newark High School (2.8 miles) and Lakewood High School (4.8 miles), are the weakest performers in the comparison group. Heath does this while spending less per student ($9,076) than most nearby districts and while serving a higher share of low-income students (39.6%) than Watkins Memorial High School or Licking Valley High School — both of which it outscores and outranks.

What sets Heath apart is how evenly it serves its students: low-income students rank at the 91st percentile and special-education students at the 92nd, both above the school's own overall standing. The graduation rate is 96.7%, the student-teacher ratio has fallen to 14.4, and chronic absenteeism has dropped from 51.3% to 22.9%. Two things to watch: Geometry proficiency (51.3%) is the one subject where Heath sits close to the state average rather than well above it, and absenteeism, though much improved, remains above the district's 16.3% rate. English II also dipped slightly last year, from 82.1% to 78.5%.
