Stow-Munroe Falls High School is a public school in Stow, Ohio, serving grades 8–12 with 1,648 students as part of the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District. It currently ranks 200 of 795 Ohio high schools (75th percentile, 4 stars) — a clear improvement from the 57th percentile it held in 2021–2022, and closer to its earlier high point of 80th percentile in 2015–2016. The district overall ranks 211 of 773 Ohio districts (73rd percentile, 4 stars).
Compared with nearby high schools, Stow sits behind Hudson High School, which ranks 14th in the state (98th percentile, 5 stars) and remains in a different performance tier, and Theodore Roosevelt High School in Kent, which ranks 140 of 795 (82nd percentile). Stow ranks ahead of Streetsboro High School (298), Tallmadge High School (300), Woodridge High School (306), and Cuyahoga Falls High School (421). At the district level, Stow's district outranks the Kent City district (252 of 773), suggesting more consistent results across the district even though Kent's high school currently ranks higher.
Stow's strongest results include a 98.8% graduation rate — the highest among the nearby schools listed — and proficiency above the state average in five of six tested subjects, including American Government (86.3%), American History (84.5%), Biology (83.3%), and Geometry (62.8%). Two areas are worth watching. Algebra I proficiency is 59.9%, slightly below the state's 61.6% and 11 points below the district's 70.9%, though it improved sharply from 47.0% the year before. Chronic absenteeism is 25.0%, above the district's 16.5% and higher than Hudson, Tallmadge, and Streetsboro, but improved from 32.6% in 2021–2022. Most student groups, including students with disabilities, gifted students, and low-income students, perform at or close to the school's overall level. Notably, Stow has the largest enrollment nearby, a higher student-teacher ratio (19.7), and lower per-student spending ($9,462 in 2018–2019) than several peers, yet still outperforms most of them.
