Summary

St Clairsville High School is a 9–12 school with 501 students in Saint Clairsville, Ohio, part of the St Clairsville-Richland City district. In 2025–26 it ranked 309th of 795 Ohio high schools (61st percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 161st of 773 (79th percentile, 4 stars), so the high school is currently rated below its district. The school has come a long way from 2015–16 and 2016–17, when it sat in the 46th–47th percentile with 2 stars, and it peaked in 2023–24 at the 76th percentile with 4 stars before slipping to the 73rd and then the 61st percentile in the two years that followed.

Academics are a relative strength. On 2025–26 Ohio State Tests End-of-Course exams, St Clairsville scored above the state average in all six reported subjects. English II is the standout at 80.1% — the highest among nearby high schools, ahead of Shadyside High School at 77.6% and 17.4 points above the state. Algebra I (72.4%) and Biology (75.0%) rank second and third locally, behind Bellaire High School and Shadyside in Biology, though Algebra I has been consistently below the district average. American Government, at 73.3%, is mid-pack among neighboring schools. Graduation rates are excellent: 98.3% in 2025–26, with 95.4%–99.3% across the past five years.

Chronic absenteeism is 22.5% — the lowest among nearby traditional high schools, which range from 25.7% to 52.1%, but still above the district's 16.8%. The student-teacher ratio is 21:1, the highest nearby, and per-student spending was $8,275 in 2018–19, the second-lowest locally, suggesting strong returns on lean resources. The main concerns are equity trends: low-SES students fell to the 32nd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, down from the 65th two years earlier, and special education and gifted/talented rankings also declined.
