Public Grades 7-12

585^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 795 Ohio High Schools

Better than 26% of Ohio high schools

Summary

St Bernard-Elmwood Place Junior/Senior High School is a 7th–12th grade public school serving 359 students on Tower Avenue in Saint Bernard, a small municipality inside Cincinnati's urban core, and it functions as the secondary campus of the St Bernard-Elmwood Place City district. About 82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school currently ranks in roughly the 26th percentile of Ohio high schools.

Getting students to graduation is this building's clear strength. The graduation rate is 98.6% — second only to Walnut Hills High School among ten nearby schools, and far above the Cincinnati Public Schools rate of 80.6%. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 52.0% to 39.2%, and the 13.2:1 student–teacher ratio is smaller than at most neighbors. Two groups stand out statewide: special education students rank in the 75th percentile and African American students in the 71st, both well above the school's own overall position.

Test scores are the weak spot. Averaged across all reported tests, about 52.5% of students are proficient versus roughly 60.2% statewide. English II sits 20.3 points below the state, 7th grade English language arts 13.4 points below, and Geometry is 30.4% versus 43.3% — a gap present in each of the last four years. Algebra I is the exception, at 74.6% versus 61.6%. After climbing to the 45th percentile in 2023–24, the school slipped to 26th in 2025–26, a decline driven mainly by English. Compared with Norwood High School, its closest true peer, St Bernard graduates more students but trails on proficiency.
