Summary

Urbana High School is a public school serving about 528 students in grades 9–12 in the small city of Urbana, Ohio, and is part of the Urbana City district. In 2025–26 it ranked 550th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 31st percentile, with 2 stars — while the district ranked 560th of 773 at the 28th percentile with 1 star. Recent years have placed Urbana between the 32nd and 48th percentiles, so it sits in the lower-middle of Ohio high schools overall.

Among nearby schools, Urbana is roughly comparable to Global Impact STEM Academy in overall rank, but trails most traditional public schools in the area: Northwestern Junior/Senior High School, Triad High School, Graham High School, Kenton Ridge Middle/High School, Mechanicsburg High School, and West Liberty-Salem High School. It is clearly ahead of Springfield High School and Cliff Park High School. Graduation is a bright spot at 91.2%, up sharply from about 81% two years earlier, though still below several neighbors that graduate 94–100% of students. Chronic absenteeism of 28.1% is far above the district's 18.7% and above the rates at Mechanicsburg, Graham, and West Liberty-Salem.

Academically, the picture is uneven rather than uniformly weak. Geometry and American Government score above the state, and English II is near the state average, but American History and Biology fall below it. Algebra I is the clearest concern: proficiency was 28.9% in 2025–26 versus 61.6% statewide, and has declined for four straight years, while most nearby schools score much higher. State effectiveness rankings for several student groups also landed in the bottom quartile in 2025–26, including students with disabilities and low-income students, though such results can shift with small groups. Notably, the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has risen from 46.73% to 62.88% in two years, making attendance and math supports especially important.
