Summary

Steubenville High School is a public high school in Steubenville, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 706 students as part of the Steubenville City district, which ranks in the 97th percentile of Ohio districts. In 2025–26 the school ranked 40th of 795 Ohio high schools (95th percentile, 5 stars) — a dramatic climb from 493rd of 784 in 2015–16 (37th percentile, 2 stars). Since 2016–17 it has stayed between the 81st and 95th percentiles, earning several 5-star years.

Test scores are the headline. English II proficiency is 95.8% against a 62.7% state rate, and Geometry is 97.2% versus 43.3% statewide; Algebra I, Biology, American History, and American Government also beat state averages. The 2025–26 graduation rate of 99.5% is the highest among nearby schools such as East Liverpool High School, Wellsville Junior Senior High, and Toronto Junior / Senior High School. Chronic absenteeism of 10.8% is lower than every nearby high school, though it sits above the 6.3% average for the Steubenville City district overall. Neighboring Edison High School edges ahead slightly in American Government and American History.

The school is also unusually effective for specific groups: special education students rank 5th of 575 statewide and low-income students 31st of 761. Gifted and talented students are the relative soft spot, at 95th of 283 (66th percentile, 3 stars) — still above average, but lower than the school's other group results. Steubenville High is the largest school in its comparison group, with a 15.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 and per-student spending of $7,056 in 2018–19, the only spending year available, so that figure should be read with caution.
