Summary

McClain High School is a grades 9–12 school in Greenfield, Ohio, serving 496 students as part of the Greenfield Exempted Village district. In 2025–26 it ranks 473rd of 795 Ohio high schools — the 41st percentile, with a 2-star rating — while the district ranks 413th of 773 statewide. The school has come a long way from 2015–16, when it sat in the 21st percentile with 1 star, and it climbed to the 50th–54th percentile with 3 stars from 2020–21 through 2022–23. Since then it has eased back slightly, to the 47th, 46th and now 41st percentile.

Its standout strengths are attendance and completion. The graduation rate is 97.8%, and chronic absenteeism is 13.5% — down from 38.9% in 2021–22 and the lowest among the 10 nearby schools compared here, ahead of Miami Trace High School at 16.4% and Fairfield Local High School at 17.7%, with several neighbors in the 28%–35% range. Overall, McClain places 4th of those 10 local schools, behind Fairfield Local, Miami Trace and Hillsboro High School. Subject results are mixed: American History, English II and Biology are above the state, while American Government, Geometry and Algebra I are below. Government is the weakest local result, 8th of 10, and Geometry fell to 37.5% from 73.0% the year before.

Subgroup results vary. Low-income students ranked in the 62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, above the school's overall standing, while special education students ranked in the 14th percentile with 1 star — a persistent weakness. Gifted results swing widely, from the 20th percentile in 2024–25 to the 84th in 2025–26. Math scores are inconsistent across course pathways and years. Class sizes look favorable: a 12.4 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, lower than every nearby school listed.
