Summary

New Knoxville High School is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in the rural village of New Knoxville, Ohio, with an enrollment of 111 students as part of the New Knoxville Local district. It ranks 78th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26 (90th percentile, 5 stars), and its district ranks even higher at 47th of 773 districts (94th percentile). Graduation rates are excellent, hitting 100% in 2025–26 and staying between 95% and 100% in recent years. One thing parents should know: the surrounding area is packed with top-1% schools — Marion Local High School, Minster Junior/Senior High School, New Bremen High School, and Fort Loramie Junior-Senior High School — so New Knoxville is a strong school in an exceptionally strong local field, but not the top-ranked one nearby.

Academically, most subjects look very strong. In 2025–26, proficiency was 94.9% in American Government, 94.6% in Biology, 92.1% in English II, 91.7% in Geometry, and 87.1% in American History — all well above state averages. Geometry is the standout, at 91.7% versus 43.3% statewide. Algebra I is the clear exception: 57.1%, below both the state (61.6%) and district (78.6%), and down sharply from 90% the year before. That subject has swung widely (78.9%, 81.3%, 90%, then 57.1%), which is common in a school this small where one class can shift the number a lot. Subgroup results are a positive sign: male and female students both ranked in the top 5% of Ohio schools in 2025–26.

Non-academic factors set this school apart too. The student-teacher ratio is 7.4 — far lower than every nearby traditional high school, which range from about 15 to 21 — and per-student spending was $12,875 in 2018–19, higher than nearby districts for which data are available. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest weak spot: 15.7% in 2025–26, compared with 6.7% for the district and well above most nearby high-performing schools, such as Fort Loramie at 2.4% and Marion Local at 3.8%. Reported free/reduced-lunch rates are also unusually high and volatile (72.97% in 2024–25, 96.74% in 2023–24), so that figure is best read with caution.
