Summary

Westlake High School is a grades 9–12 public school in Westlake, Ohio, a western suburb of Cleveland, serving 989 students as part of the Westlake City district. It is a strong school that is currently on an upswing: its 2025–2026 rank of 75th of 795 Ohio high schools places it in the 91st percentile with 5 stars, up from 111th of 855 the year before and its best recent showing.

Academically, Westlake scored above the state average in every reported End-of-Course subject. Biology is the standout at 93.0% proficient, followed by American History at 92.0% and English II at 88.3%. Math is the clearest soft spot: Geometry (74.9%) and Algebra I (71.2%) are the lowest scores, and Algebra I sits 9.7 points below the district's own aggregate — a gap that has persisted for several years. Nearby Bay High School and Rocky River High School outscore Westlake in most subjects, as does Avon High School in several. Westlake is comfortably ahead of North Ridgeville High School, Olmsted Falls High School, Fairview High School, and North Olmsted High School.

Two things stand out beyond test scores. The graduation rate is high at 97.2%, but chronic absenteeism is 26.2% — well above the district's 16.6% and higher than most high-performing nearby schools, and it has risen over the past two years. Subgroup results are generally strong, with multi-racial students ranked 2nd statewide and Hispanic, low-income, and English Language Learner students all at or above the 78th percentile; Special Education students fell to the 59th percentile and are worth monitoring. Class sizes are small (14.2 students per teacher) and per-student spending is high, making Westlake a well-resourced, high-achieving school whose relative gaps are math and attendance.
