Summary

Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Junior/Senior High School is a small public school in Ripley, Ohio, serving 192 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 604 of 795 Ohio high schools — the 24th percentile — with a 1-star rating, while the district ranked 523 of 773, at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars. The junior/senior high therefore sits below its own district's standing, and its rank has drifted downward over the past decade, from the 44th percentile in 2016–2017 to 24th now.

Graduation rates are a clear strength: 97.1% in 2025–2026, in line with North Adams High School (97.7%), Eastern High School (96.6%), Manchester High School (98.3%) and Georgetown Junior/Senior High School (98.6%). Attendance is the opposite story. Chronic absenteeism is 35.2%, the highest among nearby schools with reported data and far above the district's 25.1%, up from 21.6% in 2023–2024 and 30.6% in 2024–2025. Nearby comparisons: Eastern 12.7%, Manchester 13.4%, Georgetown 17.6%, North Adams 18.9%, West Union High School 27.8%, and Felicity-Franklin Local High School 29.8%. Class sizes are the smallest locally — a 9.1 student-teacher ratio — and per-student spending was $10,354 in 2018–2019, higher than most nearby districts.

Academically, the strongest results are English II (63.3% proficient vs. 62.7% statewide), 8th-grade science (63.8% vs. 61.2%), and American History (70.1% vs. 73.2%). Math is the clearest red flag: 8th-grade math is 21.6% versus 52% statewide, below every nearby school with reported data, and Geometry is 22.4% versus 43.3%. Biology (54% vs. 67%) and American Government (62.7% vs. 71.6%) also trail the state. Algebra I jumped from 21.2% to 51.7% but remains about 10 points below state. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are below the state median — female students at the 15th percentile, special education students at the 20th, low-income students at the 30th, and male students at the 34th. With roughly 30 students per grade, year-to-year swings can be volatile.
