Summary

McClain High School is a public high school located in Greenfield, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 543 students. The school is part of the Greenfield Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 448 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McClain High School has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, reaching 98.7% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and outperforms most of the nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively high rate of chronic absenteeism at 16.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools. McClain High School's test scores are generally below the state average, with the school performing particularly poorly in Integrated Math I and II, but excelling in Algebra I, where it outperforms the state and district averages. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking relatively well for Gifted and Talented students but struggling with Special Education and Disabled students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools.

Over the past several years, McClain High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, but has generally trended downward, from a high of 402 out of 867 Ohio high schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 458 out of 855 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the state. Compared to the nearby high schools, such as Fairfield Local High School, which is only about 8 miles away and consistently outperforms McClain High School across a variety of metrics, McClain High School generally performs in the middle to lower range.
