It ranks 568 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (29th percentile, 1 star), down sharply from the 70th percentile in 2017–2018. The high school ranks lower than its own district (494 of 773), suggesting it is a weaker link within the district. Nearby, Monroe High School ranks 250 of 795 (69th percentile), Madison High School ranks 438 of 795 (45th), and Hamilton High School ranks 515 of 795 (35th).

On state tests, American Government is a genuine strength: 72.8% proficient versus 71.6% statewide. The school is below the state in every other tested subject, with especially large gaps in Geometry (29.5% vs. 43.3%) and Algebra I (51.6% vs. 61.6%). Monroe High School outperforms the school in all tested subjects, with the biggest gaps in Algebra I, English II, and Geometry. Madison High School outperforms the school in five of six subjects despite having a much higher free/reduced-lunch rate. Hamilton High School also does better in English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. Chronic absenteeism is 41.6%, well above the district’s 28.9% and far above Monroe High School (18.8%) and Madison High School (24.0%). The graduation rate is 93.9%, lower than Monroe High School, Madison High School, Hamilton High School, and New Miami High School. This combination suggests many students graduate without reaching state proficiency benchmarks.
For student groups, gifted students rank 68th percentile (3 stars), the strongest subgroup and an improving bright spot. Low-income, special education, and male and female students generally rank lower, with many subgroup results declining over the past two years. Algebra I improved from 39.3% in 2022–2023 to 57.8% in 2024–2025 before dipping to 51.6% in 2025–2026. The student–teacher ratio improved from 25.3 to 18.4, better than Monroe High School and Hamilton High School but higher than Madison High School. Overall, the school’s strengths are American Government, a stable graduation rate, an improving student–teacher ratio, and relatively strong gifted-student effectiveness. Its urgent challenges are math proficiency, chronic absenteeism, broad subgroup gaps, and a long-term decline in ranking. Monroe High School is the clearest nearby benchmark to learn from.
