Summary

Mt Gilead High School is a small public high school in Mount Gilead, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 274 students as part of the Mount Gilead Exempted Village district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 263rd of 795 Ohio high schools — the 67th percentile, or 3 stars — while the district overall placed 420th of 773, in the 46th percentile with 2 stars. In short, the high school is performing above its own district's overall standing.

Attendance is the standout strength. Mt Gilead's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.4% is the lowest among all nearby high schools with reported data, well below Harding High School's 42.4% and Tomorrow Center's 46.3%, and down from 35.9% in 2021–2022. The graduation rate is 95.9%, and the student–teacher ratio of 10.5 is the lowest in the comparison group, far under Lexington High School's 18.7 and Galion High School's 18.8. Academically, students score above the state in five of six tested subjects: American History 90.4 (17.2 points above the state), Biology 80.8 (13.8 above), and English II 76.3 (13.6 above). Algebra I, at 60.0%, is the exception — slightly below the state and well below the district's 68.9% — making it the clearest improvement target.

Among nearby schools, Mt Gilead sits in the upper-middle: it trails Northmor High School, Lexington High School, and Fredericktown High School in overall percentile, but leads River Valley High School, Highland High School, Cardington-Lincoln High School, Galion High School, Harding High School, and Tomorrow Center. The latest year softened after a strong 2024–2025, when the school reached the 79th percentile and 4 stars; subgroup results also slipped, with Special Education Students at the 48th percentile. Note that spending figures date to 2018–2019, student–teacher ratios to 2024–2025, and some nearby schools have missing data, so comparisons should be read with care.
