Summary

Wickliffe Upper School is a public school in Wickliffe, Ohio, serving grades 7 through 12 with 586 students as part of the Wickliffe City School District, a 2-star district ranked 521st of 773 in Ohio. The school itself holds a 2-star rating and ranks 453rd of 795 high schools (43rd percentile) for 2025–2026, down from the 52nd percentile in 2021–2022.

Graduation is a clear strength at 99.1% for 2025–2026, second in the area only to Kirtland High School's 100% and above Mayfield High School (97.0%) and South High School (94.1%). Yet 38.1% of students were chronically absent, higher than the district rate of 30.5% and well above Kirtland (21.1%) and Mayfield (24.3%). Test scores are mixed. American Government (84.5% proficient), American History (74.2%), Biology (71.0%), and English II (65.3%) all exceed state averages and mostly outpace nearby Brush High School, Euclid High School, North High School, and Richmond Heights High School. Mathematics is the weak spot: Geometry sits at 33.3% (state 43.3%) and Algebra I at 54.3% (state 61.6%), while middle school math falls far below state—7th grade 27.2% vs. 48.6% and 8th grade 24.6% vs. 52%. Middle school English Language Arts also trails state averages.

Economic disadvantage has surged, with the free/reduced lunch rate reaching 55.46% in 2024–2025, up from 35.13% the year before, even though per-student spending of $12,703 is among the highest in the comparison group. By subgroup, White students (54th percentile) and African American students (52nd percentile) are relative strengths, while multi-racial students (19th percentile) and low-income students (30th percentile) lag behind. Attendance and math are the key areas to watch.
