Summary

Buckeye Valley Local High School is a public school in Delaware, OH, serving grades 9–12 with 597 students as part of Buckeye Valley Local Schools. It ranks 84th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (89th percentile, 4 stars) — the top 11% statewide — and its district ranks 91st of 773. Its trajectory is strong: from the 74th–84th percentile in the mid-2010s to the 85th–93rd range recently, peaking at 64th of 855 (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025. That places it above most nearby districts, though below the four Olentangy Local high schools — Olentangy High School, Olentangy Liberty High School, and Olentangy Berlin High School — which rank in the 93rd–96th percentiles.

In 2025–2026 the school exceeded the state average in every tested subject, from American History (89.8% vs. 73.2%) and Biology (88.2% vs. 67.0%) to English II (84.1% vs. 62.7%). Geometry is the clear standout: 80.2% proficiency is 36.9 points above the state average and ahead of Big Walnut High School (59.9%), Rutherford B Hayes High School (58.9%), Pleasant High School (52.4%), North Union High School (47.0%), and Cardington-Lincoln High School (29.0%), as well as Orange High School (77.0%). Algebra I is the relative weak spot at 72.9% — below the district's own 84.4% and down from 80.3% the year before. Subgroup results are generally strong, with female students in the 97th percentile and special education students in the 83rd.

Graduation is solid at 96.9%, close to Rutherford B Hayes (96.8%) but below Big Walnut (98.2%) and the Olentangy schools. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest weakness at 19.9% — 6.0 points above the district's 13.9% and higher than most nearby peers, though far improved from 33.5% in 2021–2022. With 597 students, the school is smaller than the Olentangy campuses and Big Walnut, and its student–teacher ratio of 16.4 is more favorable than all of them. Free/reduced lunch is 23.12%, moderate for the area.
