Better than 23% of Ohio high schools

Summary

Zanesville High School is a public school in Zanesville, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 689 students as part of the Zanesville City district. It ranks 612th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (23rd percentile, 1 star), while the district ranks 552nd of 773 (29th percentile, 1 star). Its percentile rank has remained in the bottom quartile (16–28) from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026. The graduation rate is 97.4%, but chronic absenteeism is 37.6%, above the district average of 30.0%. The student–teacher ratio is 18.6, and per-student spending was $9,823 in 2018–2019.

Compared with nearby schools, Zanesville High School sits below John Glenn High School (65th percentile, 3 stars), Tri-Valley High School (69th percentile, 3 stars), West Muskingum High School (42nd percentile, 2 stars), Maysville High School (34th percentile, 2 stars), Philo High School (28th percentile, 1 star), and Crooksville High School (18th percentile, 1 star), but above Foxfire High School (11th percentile, 1 star) and Zanesville Community High School (5th percentile, 0 stars). Its 97.4% graduation rate is high and comparable to the strongest nearby schools, yet its chronic absenteeism is the highest among traditional public high schools in this group. On 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests, American Government proficiency was 75.2%, above the state’s 71.6% and competitive locally, but Algebra I (36.8%) and Geometry (32.1%) were far below state averages, and English II was 50%.

The school’s graduation–proficiency gap is striking: most students graduate, yet proficiency is low in most subjects, which may reflect credit recovery, graduation pathways, or a mismatch between grades and state tests. Chronic absenteeism remains a major barrier, although it improved from 50.6% in 2022–2023. Mathematics is the clearest academic weakness. American Government is a bright spot. Some student groups perform much better than the school overall, including gifted and talented students (72nd percentile, 4 stars) and special education students (33rd percentile, 2 stars), while low-income students rank near the school overall (28th percentile, 1 star). Compared with higher-performing nearby schools, the school spends similar or more per student and has similar or smaller classes, so attendance, school climate, and instructional quality may matter more than resources alone. Data limits include missing free/reduced lunch information and old spending data.
