Summary

Chesapeake High School is a public high school in Chesapeake, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with about 380 students as part of the Chesapeake Union Exempted Village district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 371st of 795 Ohio schools—53rd percentile, 3 stars—the best in the provided history and up from 33rd percentile in 2024–2025. The district is rated higher, at 219th of 773 districts—72nd percentile, 4 stars.

Academically, Chesapeake’s standout is Algebra I: 89.9% proficiency versus Ohio’s 61.6%, the highest among nearby reported schools, ahead of Ironton High School at 77.8%, Fairland High School at 69.4%, and South Point High School at 61.2%. It also beats the state in American History (84.3% vs. 73.2%) and English II (72.6% vs. 62.7%). Geometry remains the main gap at 39.6%, below Ohio’s 43.3% and behind Ironton High School and Tri-State STEM+M School. American Government improved to 65.7% but is still below the state’s 71.6%. Every reported subject improved from the prior year.

Other key measures show both strengths and concerns. The graduation rate is 100.0%, tied for best among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is 28.8%, above the district’s 17.3% and worse than Ironton High School, Rock Hill Senior High School, Fairland High School, South Point High School, and Tri-State STEM+M School. The student-teacher ratio rose to 20 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby listed schools, and spending was $9,209 per student in 2018–2019, lower than most nearby peers. Economic need is high: 66.67% free/reduced lunch in 2023–2024. Subgroup effectiveness is a strength: special education students ranked at the 85th percentile and low-SES students at the 76th, both 4-star subgroup ratings. The main areas to watch are Geometry, American Government, chronic absenteeism, and the student-teacher ratio.
