Summary
Theodore Roosevelt High School is a grade 9–12 public high school in Kent, Ohio, serving 1,325 students as part of the Kent City district. It is ranked 140 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (82nd percentile, 4 stars), notably higher than its district’s overall rank of 252 of 773 (67th percentile, 3 stars). That difference makes the school a bright spot within its own district. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate is 97.3%, slightly above the district’s 96.9%.
Academically, the school scores above the Ohio state average in every 2025–2026 End-of-Course tested subject. Its strongest results are in American History (89.9), American Government (88.0), Biology (83.4), and English II (77.6), while Geometry (62.1) and Algebra I (72.7) are also above state averages. Every subject improved from 2024–2025, with Algebra I up 19.6 points, English II up 11.8, and Geometry up 10.9. Compared with nearby schools, Hudson High School is clearly higher overall, but the school generally outranks Stow-Munroe Falls High School and beats it in five of six EOC subjects. It also outperforms Streetsboro High School, Tallmadge High School, Field High School, Cuyahoga Falls High School, and Ravenna High School in several subjects.
The main counterweight is chronic absenteeism: 32.0% in 2025–2026, higher than the district’s 24.3% and above most nearby suburban peers except Cuyahoga Falls High School and Ravenna High School. The school’s student-teacher ratio of 19.7 is relatively high, and Algebra I remains 6.3 points below the Kent City district average, the clearest internal academic gap. Still, the school serves several student groups well, including students with disabilities and students from lower-income families, with subgroup rankings at or above the 77th percentile in many cases. Overall, the school presents as an above-average Ohio high school that is performing much better than its district rank suggests, with strong humanities, biology, and graduation outcomes, but attendance and math consistency are areas to watch.
