Summary

Shadyside High School in Shadyside, OH is a public school serving grades 7–12 with 285 students and is part of the Shadyside Local district. The big story is a strong turnaround: the school ranked 176th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026—78th percentile with 4 stars—up from 39th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024. Its district ranks 144th of 773 districts (81st percentile, 4 stars). Among nearby schools, it is the highest-ranked in 2025–2026, ahead of St Clairsville High School, Bellaire High School, Union Local High School, Martins Ferry High School, and Buckeye Local High School.

Academically, the school exceeded Ohio’s proficiency rate in all 11 tested areas in 2025–2026, with margins from +5.5 to +31.3 points. Standouts include 7th grade ELA at 93.0%, 8th grade math at 83.3%, American Government at 90.7%, and Algebra I at 78.6%. It leads nearby high schools in American Government and Algebra I, and is near the top in American History, Biology, English II, and Geometry. Because it serves grades 7–12 while many comparison schools serve grades 9–12, the middle-school results are not directly comparable, but they show strength in the school’s lower grades.

Graduation and attendance give a fuller picture. The 2025–2026 graduation rate is 97.8%, up from 88.1% in 2021–2022 and above most nearby schools, though slightly behind Union Local High School and St Clairsville High School. Chronic absenteeism is 33.0%, higher than the Shadyside Local rate of 25.5% and higher than St Clairsville High School and Martins Ferry High School, but improved from 42.7% in 2023–2024. The school ranks in the 90th percentile for male students and 89th percentile for low-socioeconomic-status students; female students rank 59th percentile. Its student–teacher ratio was 15.6 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $8,124 in 2018–2019—lower than nearby schools with reported spending, suggesting strong results with relatively modest resources. Free/reduced lunch data was not reported.
