Summary

Ranger High Technical Academy is a small public school in North Ridgeville, Ohio (Lorain County) serving grades 3–8 with 259 students — roughly 43 per grade — and it is one of two grade 3–8 schools in the North Ridgeville City district, alongside the much larger North Ridgeville Academic Center. Despite the "High Technical Academy" name, the data describe a middle-grade program — and an elite one. Ranger has ranked in the top 5% of Ohio middle schools in six of the last seven reported years, peaking at 15th in the state in 2024–2025, while its own district ranks 136th of 773.

In 2025–2026, Ranger beat the state benchmark on all 15 reported assessments by an average of about 23 points, and beat its own district on 14 of 15. Grade 8 is the standout: a grade-8 composite of about 94.0 tops every nearby school, including wealthier peers such as Bay Middle School (~89.4), Learwood Middle School (~79.6) and Avon Middle School (~76.0). Ranger also leads North Ridgeville Academic Center on 13 of 15 shared tests, with grade-8 ELA ahead by 24.4 points. Against Bay Middle School, however, Ranger trails in grades 5–7 and pulls ahead only in grade 8.

Ranger's chronic absenteeism (8.5%) is the lowest in its district and second-lowest among nearby schools. It spends $8,302 per student — about 39% less than Bay — while landing within 14 rank positions, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.3 matches Bay and far beats the Academic Center's 20.3. The school is especially effective with male students, ranking in the 98th–99th percentile for three straight years, and Algebra I proficiency was reported at 100% in both recent years. Worth watching: small cohorts of about 40 students make single-year figures volatile; the student-teacher ratio is rising (12.7 → 14.3); the economically disadvantaged share has more than doubled in three years; grade-5 and grade-3 math lag behind the rest of the school; and no subgroup rankings beyond gender and race are reported, leaving the equity picture only partly visible.
