Summary

Tallmadge High School in Tallmadge, OH is a mid-sized public school of 805 students serving grades 8–12, and it is essentially the entire academic story of the Tallmadge City district — a single-high-school district on N Munroe Rd, about 3–4.5 miles from comparable high schools in the Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow-Munroe Falls, Field Local, and Mogadore Local districts.

By the numbers, Tallmadge is a solidly above-average Ohio high school. It ranks 300th of 795 Ohio high schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, and its students beat the state average in all six End-of-Course subjects, by margins ranging from +5.5 points in American Government to +12.9 points in English II. Its 98.0% graduation rate is second only to Stow-Munroe Falls High School (98.8%) among nearby schools, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 20.7% is the lowest of any comparison high school — well below Cuyahoga Falls High School (37.2%) and the Akron City high schools (53–67%, including North High School). Tallmadge also spends the most per student in the group ($13,499 in 2018–19).

There are caveats worth knowing. The 2025–2026 result ends four years at the 74th–79th percentile with 4 stars and is the school's weakest standing in five years; percentile ranks fell for most student groups reported, including male students, students from low-income families, and students with disabilities. Test scores swing sharply from year to year — American Government fell 14.3 points while American History rose 15.7 over the same period — so a single year should not be read as a trend. Algebra I is the one subject where the school trails its own district three years running, and attendance, though best in the group, runs 4–6 points above the district's own rate. Despite spending roughly 43% more per student than Stow-Munroe Falls, Tallmadge ranks below it. The bottom line: a good school in a visible down-cycle.

What people are saying

by a student
Thursday, May 14, 2009

The teachers teach whats required and help students with life problems. You learn a lot more. Students are decent and I wouldn't get rid of any of them. The principal is too focused on money, "excellent" ratings, and sports. Its alright but it's just a school. I like school but sometimes here, I feel like I'm wasting my time because I'm not doing anything. I'm a junior, I know Tallmadge schools are safe, but you could learn the same stuff from text books. There's a few teachers that make me glad to go to school. I don't know what people really look for in schools but I know if you are in a community that is good (this doesn't mean nice houses, because when it comes to students that does not matter) then your kid should be fine.
