Summary

North Olmsted High School is a 9–12 public school in North Olmsted, Ohio, serving 1,115 students in the North Olmsted City district, which ranks 273rd of 773 Ohio districts (65th percentile, 3 stars). The school ranked 321st of 795 high schools statewide in 2025–26 (60th percentile, 3 stars) — a rebound from 45th percentile in 2024–25 and 49th percentile in 2023–24, though below its 2021–22 position of 68th percentile. Among its nearby comparison schools, it ranks ahead of only Berea-Midpark High School.

In 2025–26 end-of-course exams, North Olmsted scored above the state average in all six tested subjects: American Government 76.7% (state 71.6%), American History 83.7%, Biology 79.1%, English II 71.8%, Geometry 48.6%, and Algebra I 64.8%. Yet compared with nearby schools it was lowest or second-lowest in every subject, trailing peers such as Rocky River High School, Bay High School, Avon High School, and Olmsted Falls High School. Math is the clearest weak spot: Geometry and Algebra I both fell below district averages, though both improved sharply over 2024–25.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's most conspicuous non-academic challenge at 27.5% in 2025–26 — improved from 32.7% and the lowest in five years, but still above the district's 19.8% and higher than most neighbors, with Berea-Midpark (33.4%) higher still. The 96.4% graduation rate is a strength. Subgroup results are a genuine bright spot: the school ranks in the 84th percentile for low-income students, 87th for Hispanic students, 72nd for African American students, 71st for special education students, and 69th for gifted students — all above its overall 60th percentile. Context matters: the 2023–24 free/reduced-lunch rate was 47.51%, the highest among nearby schools, and the student–teacher ratio is 19.1. Overall, North Olmsted is a mid-performing school that is above state averages but below most surrounding districts, showing meaningful improvement.
