Summary

North College Hill High School is a 9–12 public high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 402 students as part of the North College Hill City district. It is small compared with nearby comprehensive high schools such as Colerain High School (1,591 students), Winton Woods High School (1,272), and Aiken New Technical High School (1,226). Its profile is low-performing and persistently so: in 2025–2026 it ranked 718th of 795 Ohio high schools — 10th percentile, 0 stars — while its district ranked 746th of 773 districts statewide, in the 3rd percentile. The school has been in the bottom quartile in every year with available data, generally between the 7th and 20th percentiles.

Math is the sharpest weakness. In 2025–2026, 10.5% of students were proficient in Algebra I (statewide: 61.6%) and 15.5% in Geometry (statewide: 43.3%). Algebra I was lower than every nearby comprehensive high school with reported data, including Winton Woods (21.6%), Mt Healthy High School (27.2%), Aiken (30.0%), Woodward Career Technical High School (36.5%), Northwest High School (53.3%), Finneytown Secondary Campus - Middle and High School (53.4%), Colerain (59.7%), Wyoming High School (69.6%), and St Bernard-Elmwood Place Junior/Senior High School (74.6%). English and social studies are comparatively stronger but still below state averages: English II at 44.2% and American History at 52.4% beat several nearby low-performing schools, and both improved substantially from 2023–2024.

Chronic absenteeism is a major red flag at 68.5%, well above the district’s 54.1% and up from 47.2% in 2021–2022. The graduation rate is comparatively resilient at 88.5%, slightly above the district’s 88.1% and above Aiken (80.7%), Woodward (82.8%), and Transitions Academy (78.6%), though below most nearby schools. The contrast with Wyoming High School, roughly 4.4 miles away, is stark: 93rd percentile, 5 stars, 99.3% graduation, and 18.9% chronic absenteeism. Overall, the school faces broad challenges — very low ranking, severe math deficits, and worsening attendance — while graduation and English/social studies results are its steadier points.
