Summary
Madeira High School is a public high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 438 students in the Madeira City district. It is a top-tier suburban school: the district ranks 18th of 773 Ohio districts (98th percentile, 5 stars), and the school ranks 47th of 795 in 2025–2026 (94th percentile, 5 stars). Historically, it was even higher, ranking 5th and 8th statewide in 2016–2017 and 2015–2016, so recent rankings still place it in the top 6% of Ohio high schools even as they sit below its mid-2010s peak.
Outcomes are strong. The school has a 100% graduation rate in 2025–2026, and its 10.1% chronic absenteeism is the lowest among nearby schools with reported data, though it is more than double the district’s 4.8% rate. On 2025–2026 Ohio End-of-Course tests, it exceeded the state in every subject: American History 98.4%, Biology 93.8%, English II 91.4%, American Government 88.1%, Algebra I 77.9%, and Geometry 76.8%. Its American History score is the highest among nearby schools, ahead of Mariemont High School (96.4%) and Sycamore High School (90.9%). It also outperformed Sycamore High School and Indian Hill High School in Government, History, Biology, Geometry, and Algebra I, and nearly matched the latter in English II. Mariemont High School remains the nearby benchmark, especially in Algebra I, Geometry, and Government.
The school’s free/reduced-price lunch rate is 9.36% in 2024–2025, much lower than Sycamore Community City’s 20.38%, Reading Community City’s 50.92%, and Deer Park Community City’s 51.16%. It spends $12,272 per student (2018–2019), less than Indian Hill Exempted Village, Mariemont City, and Sycamore Community City, with a 14.3 student-teacher ratio. Subgroup results are generally strong: special education students rank in the 90th percentile, and low-income students rank in the 86th percentile in 2025–2026. Math is the clearest relative growth area: Algebra I and Geometry are above state averages but trail the school’s humanities and science results. Overall, it is a high-performing, relatively affluent suburban school with excellent completion and engagement outcomes, standout social studies and science results, and math as its main opportunity area.
