Summary

Waynesfield-Goshen Local High School is a small, rural combined middle-and-high school in Waynesfield, Ohio, serving grades 6–12 with 220 students — about 31 per grade — and it is the only high school in the Waynesfield-Goshen Local district. For 2025-2026 it ranks 277th of 795 Ohio high schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), a step back from last year's 4-star, 77th-percentile showing but far above its 2017-2018 baseline of 36th percentile and 2 stars. Notably, the high school outperforms its own district, which ranks 338th of 773 (56th percentile).

Academically, the school beat the state on 9 of 13 reported assessments, led by Algebra I at 91.7% (state 61.6%), 8th-grade math at 92.6% (state 52.0%) and 8th-grade science at 93.5% (state 61.2%). It posts a 100% graduation rate and 12.0% chronic absenteeism — the lowest locally after Jackson Center High School (10.3%) and well ahead of Wapakoneta High School (25.1%). Resources are the strongest in the comparison group: $12,222 per student and a 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio, versus 21.3:1 in Wapakoneta City. That places the school clearly behind regional standouts Jackson Center and Shawnee High School on depth of proficiency, but ahead of Wapakoneta, Perry and Upper Scioto Valley.

There are specific watch items. The share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch has climbed from 45.45% to 65.55% to 75.00% in two years. Sixth-grade English language arts is the weakest result in the data at 31.3% against a 56.0% state mark, down from 66.7% two years ago, and Geometry fell from 70.0% to 51.6%. Subgroup results also diverge: female students rank at the 85th percentile (4 stars) while male students rank at the 45th percentile (2 stars). With only 220 students, a single class can swing the school's numbers, so some year-to-year volatility is expected.
