Summary

Montpelier High School is a public school in rural Montpelier, Ohio, serving 316 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Montpelier Exempted Village district. It currently sits near the state median: 400th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (50th percentile, 3 stars), slightly above its own district's 46th percentile but below most nearby schools. It peaked recently at the 77th percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024, then slipped to 61st and then 50th.

Test scores show a clear split. American Government is a genuine strength: 100% of students tested proficient, far above Ohio's 71.6% and higher than every nearby school. Montpelier also beats the state in English II, Algebra I, Geometry, ELA 8, and Science 8. The weak spots are 8th-grade math (34.7% versus Ohio's 52%) and Biology (55.7% versus 67%), both second-lowest among nearby schools, along with American History (72.9%), which is below every nearby school even though the school excels in government. For comparison, Fairview High School ranks at the 92nd percentile, Archbold High School at 86th, and Edgerton High School at 80th, while Montpelier is above only Fayette Junior/Senior High School.

Operationally, Montpelier's 90.4% graduation rate is the lowest among nearby schools with reported rates, and its 20.9% chronic absenteeism is higher than the district's 13.1% and most neighbors. Subgroup results have weakened sharply: special education students ranked at the 7th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 86th percentile in 2023–2024, and low-income students fell from the 83rd to the 28th percentile. Staffing is a plus — a 10.5 student-teacher ratio, lower than most nearby schools — and per-student spending is mid-pack, but those advantages have not lifted results to the level of nearby high performers.
