Summary
Bloom-Carroll High School is a public high school in Carroll, Ohio, serving about 697 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Bloom-Carroll Local district — smaller than the large Pickerington High School North and Lancaster High School nearby, but larger than Amanda-Clearcreek High School and Liberty Union High School. The district ranks 233 of 773 in Ohio (70th percentile, 4 stars), while the high school's 2025–26 rank is 322 of 795 (59th percentile, 3 stars). Historically, the school was stronger — in the 80s percentile range in 2015–16, 2017–18 and 2021–22 and at the 78th percentile in 2023–24 — before slipping to the 68th percentile in 2024–25 and 59th percentile in 2025–26, dropping from 4 stars to 3.
Graduation and attendance are clear strengths. The 2025–26 graduation rate is 98.5%, among the highest in the area — behind only Liberty Union High School (99.0%), essentially even with Canal Winchester High School (98.4%), and ahead of Pickerington High School North, Pickerington High School Central, Amanda-Clearcreek High School, Lancaster High School, SWL Digital Academy and Pickerington Academy. Chronic absenteeism is 11.7%, the lowest among nearby schools with reported data, compared with 16.9% at Liberty Union, 25.8% at Canal Winchester, 36.1% at Lancaster and 75.6% at Pickerington Academy. Test proficiency is above the state in four of six tested subjects, led by American History (89.6% vs. 73.2% state), Government (83.0%), English II (78.3%) and Biology (76.4%).
Math is the biggest academic concern. Geometry proficiency is 31.4% against the state's 43.3%, below Amanda-Clearcreek, Lancaster, Pickerington Central, Canal Winchester and Pickerington North. Algebra I is 58.0%, below the state's 61.6% and well below the district's 73.2%, a gap that likely reflects higher-scoring middle-school test-takers in the district figure rather than the high school's own Algebra I students. Strengthening math is the clearest path back to the school's earlier 4-star standing. Two other facts for context: the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 23.5, the highest among nearby comprehensive high schools, and per-student spending was $9,873 in 2018–19, mid-pack locally.
