Summary

Piqua High School is a public high school in Piqua, Ohio, serving 916 students in grades 9-12. Over the past 10 years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with a 2-3 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

While Piqua High School has seen a steady improvement in its 4-year graduation rate, increasing from 89.0% in 2022-2023 to 93.1% in 2024-2025, it still lags slightly behind the state average. The school's performance on the Ohio State Tests is mixed, with stronger results in subjects like American History, Biology, and Algebra I, but lower proficiency rates in English II and Geometry. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.2% to 42.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Russia High School, Fairlawn High School, and Miami East High School, which consistently rank in the top 100-200 high schools in Ohio, Piqua High School's performance is generally lower. However, the school does perform well in serving its gifted and talented student population, ranking in the top 5 high schools in Ohio for this subgroup in 2023-2024.
