Summary

Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a public school serving grades 8–12 with 1,678 students as part of the Sycamore Community City district. It remains a top-tier Ohio high school, though it has slipped from its own recent peak: it ranked 45th of 864 schools in 2023-2024, 68th of 855 in 2024-2025, and 94th of 795 in 2025-2026 (88th percentile, 4 stars). Graduation rates are steady and high at 96.5% in 2025-2026, and proficiency beats Ohio in every tested subject — by 28.0 points in Geometry, 22.0 in English II, and 20.0 in Biology.

Two areas stand out for parents to watch. First, math: Geometry (71.3%) and Algebra I (73.4%) both fall below the district's own averages of 74.6% and 85.0%, leaving Algebra I 11.6 points below the district. Second, chronic absenteeism is 16.7%, improved from 17.6% the prior year but well above the district's 9.3%.

Compared with nearby schools, Madeira High School is the strongest comprehensive high school on most measures — 100% graduation and 10.1% chronic absenteeism — and Loveland High School outperformed Sycamore on all six end-of-course tests. Indian Hill High School ranks below Sycamore overall but scores higher in English II and Biology. Sycamore is clearly ahead of Princeton High School, Reading Junior Senior High School, Deer Park Junior/Senior High School, and Princeton Innovation Center. Within the school, English language learners and female students rank very high statewide, while special education students and low-income students rank lower and dropped sharply in 2025-2026. Note that career/technical and specialized schools have different missions and are best compared cautiously.
