Summary

Harrison Central Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Cadiz, OH, serving 546 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Harrison Hills City district.

In 2025–2026, the school ranked 527th of 795 Ohio schools (34th percentile, 2 stars), while the district ranked 568th of 773 districts (27th percentile, 1 star). That places it slightly above the district’s overall standing but below the state median. Its graduation rate is a clear strength: 100.0% in 2025–2026, the highest among nearby schools with reported data. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent concern at 31.5%, higher than the district’s 28.5% and much higher than Conotton Valley High School (11.4%) or St Clairsville High School (22.5%), though lower than Union Local High School, Indian Creek High School, and Buckeye Local High School.

Academically, results are mixed. English II (65.0%), American Government (73.4%), and American History (71.8%) are near or above state averages, but math is the clearest weakness: Geometry was 21.0% vs. the state’s 43.3%, 8th-grade math 23.0% vs. 52.0%, and 7th-grade math 33.3% vs. 48.6%. Middle-grade science and ELA also trail the state. Compared with nearby schools, Harrison Central trails Conotton Valley High School, Indian Creek High School, and St Clairsville High School, is roughly comparable to Union Local High School and Martins Ferry High School, and outperforms The Bridgeport School District - High School and Buckeye Local High School. Gifted students are a relative strength at the 64th percentile, while special education results have ranged from the 46th to 70th percentile and low-income students rank at the 31st percentile. Overall, the school helps students finish, but attendance and middle-school/Geometry math are key areas to ask about.
