Summary

North Royalton High School is a 9–12 public high school in North Royalton, Ohio — a south suburban Cleveland community in Cuyahoga County — serving 1,401 students in the North Royalton City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 68th of 795 Ohio high schools (91st percentile, 5 stars), while the district ranked 81st of 773. The school has moved from the 77th percentile in 2017–2018 to a peak of 95th in 2022–2023 and has held the 91st percentile for three straight years, so its strong position looks sustained rather than a one-year spike.

Academically, the school’s proficiency rates exceed Ohio’s by 18–24 points across all six End-of-Course exams. It outperforms Strongsville High School and Independence High School in American Government, American History, and Biology, and is essentially level with Strongsville in English II; Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School is the only nearby school that clearly outperforms it across the board. Math is the exception: Geometry is the weakest subject at 63.5%, trailing Strongsville’s 75.8% and Brecksville-Broadview Heights’ 86.4%, and Algebra I at 79.6% also trails those peers and falls below the district. The graduation rate has risen to 98.0%, and low-income students (96th percentile), English Language Learners (90th–98th), and special education students (88th and rising) are performing at or above the school’s overall percentile.

The two watch items are chronic absenteeism and math. Absenteeism has climbed from 14.7% in 2022–2023 to 19.9% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 16.6%, though still better than Strongsville High School (21.0%), Normandy High School (25.1%), Valley Forge High School (30.3%), and Gateway Online Academy of Ohio (53.6%). The school is also resource-efficient: it spends $10,963 per pupil — the lowest among its high-performing neighbors, versus $17,215 at Independence High School, $12,110 at Strongsville, and $11,684 at Brecksville-Broadview Heights — while running 21.9 students per teacher. By contrast, Valley Forge High School and Normandy High School in Parma City sit at the 33rd and 39th percentiles with chronic absenteeism above 25%. Bottom line: North Royalton is a strong, efficient school whose biggest opportunities are improving Geometry and reversing the rise in absenteeism.
