Mt Healthy High School

Mt Healthy High School is a 9–12 public high school at 8101 Hamilton Ave in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 865 students in the Mt Healthy City district, which ranks 738th of 773 Ohio districts. The school itself ranks 724th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26 (9th percentile, 0 stars), placing it in the bottom decile. Its graduation rate is 91.4%, up sharply from 66.8% in 2021–22 and essentially even with the district's 91.0%. Chronic absenteeism, however, stands at 66.9% — well above the district's 53.1% and meaning roughly two-thirds of students miss enough school to be considered chronically absent.

Compared with nearby schools, Mt Healthy's 24.7 student-teacher ratio is the highest in its area, above Northwest High School (22.7) and Colerain High School (22.4), and far above Wyoming High School (14.1). Its absenteeism rate is also much higher than Finneytown Secondary Campus - Middle and High School (36.0%) and Wyoming (18.9%). In 2025–26 test proficiency, Mt Healthy scored 48.8% in American Government, 51.7% in American History, 35.8% in Biology, 28.8% in English II, 15.6% in Geometry, and 27.2% in Algebra I — below state averages in every subject. It does outperform Woodward Career Technical High School in Government, History, Biology, and English II, but trails Lockland Junior Senior High School in several subjects and sits far behind Wyoming, Colerain, Finneytown, and Northwest.

The defining tension is a wide graduation-to-proficiency gap: most students graduate, yet far fewer reach proficiency in core subjects. There are encouraging trends — proficiency rose from 2022–23 to 2025–26 in American History (36.1% to 51.7%), Biology, Geometry, and Algebra I (10% to 27.2%) — and English Language Learner students ranked at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars, while special education students improved from the 1st to the 19th percentile. Spending was $8,582 per student in 2018–19, low compared with Wyoming's $14,332.
