Summary

Columbiana High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 with 319 students in Columbiana, Ohio, a small Columbiana County community served by the Columbiana Exempted Village district. The school ranks 93rd of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (88th percentile, 4 stars), placing it in roughly the top 12% statewide, while its district ranks 92nd of 773. That is a slight step back from 2024–2025 (76th of 855, 91st percentile, 5 stars) and 2023–2024 (85th of 864, 5 stars), but well ahead of 2015–2016 (168th of 784).

End-of-course proficiency beats the state average in every reported subject. Biology is the standout at 88.5% (state: 67.0%)—the highest among nearby traditional high schools—followed by American Government at 91.6% (state: 71.6%), second only to Springfield High School's 93.5%. Algebra I is 80.0% versus 61.6% statewide. Geometry is Columbiana's lowest score at 64.9%, though that is still 21.6 points above the state and third among nearby schools. English II (81.0%) trails only South Range High School (88.6%), and American History (87.7%) ranks fourth locally.

Graduation is excellent: 98.9% in 2025–2026, with 100% the prior year. Chronic absenteeism is the number to watch—15.0%, up from 12.1% and 11.7%, and above the district's 11.6%. It is still much better than David Anderson Junior/Senior High School, Crestview High School, Boardman High School, East Palestine High School, Salem High School, and Leetonia Junior/Senior High School, though higher than South Range (10.4%) and Springfield (11.3%). Subgroup results remain a strength: low-income students ranked in the 85th percentile and special education students in the 73rd statewide in 2025–2026, both down from prior 5-star peaks but still high.
