Summary

Normandy High School is a 9–12 comprehensive high school at 2500 W Pleasant Valley Rd in Parma, Ohio, serving 1,610 students — the largest enrollment in its comparison group — as part of Parma City schools, a district ranked 464th of 773 in Ohio. The school earned 2 stars in 2025-2026, ranking 482nd of 795 schools (39th percentile), which places it essentially at its district's own level.

Two trends tell the story. Completion is strong and improving: the graduation rate reached 97.3%, above the district's 94.9% and Valley Forge High School's 92.9%, and chronic absenteeism has fallen from 52.2% in 2021-22 to about 25%. But proficiency has slipped, and the school's statewide rank has dropped from the 70th percentile in 2018-2019 to 39th today. Humanities are real strengths — English II (68.3%) and American History (76.8%) both beat the state — while math is the weak spot. Geometry proficiency is 36.6%, below Ohio's 43.3% for three straight years, and Algebra I (51.9%) runs 6.6 points below the district.

Against Valley Forge High School — same district, similar size, nearly identical spending — Normandy is ahead on graduation, attendance and five of six tested subjects, though Valley Forge leads in American Government. Nearby schools are sharply divided: Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School and Independence High School post graduation rates of 99–100%, while Rhodes School of Environmental Studies, Old Brook High School (53.8% graduation, 97.9% absenteeism) and Gateway Online Academy of Ohio (36.1% graduation) sit far lower. One notable strength: English Language Learners reach the 70th percentile with 4 stars, well above the school overall, though Gifted and Talented students have fallen from the 94th percentile to the 37th.
