Summary

New Albany High School in New Albany, OH, is a grades 9–12 public high school in the New Albany-Plain Local district, enrolling 1,601 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 90th of 795 Ohio high schools—89th percentile with 4 stars—down from 52nd of 855, 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2024–2025, but still top-decile and ahead of nearby Licking Heights High School (221st) and Westerville-North High School (308th). Its 98.4% graduation rate is at the top of the nearby group. Chronic absenteeism is 17.8%, lower than Licking Heights High School (27.1%), Westerville high schools (28.6–32.3%), and Lincoln High School (32.9%), but above the district’s 11.2% and rising locally from 14.1% to 15.7% to 17.8%.

Proficiency is above the state in every reported End-of-Course subject, often by 16–25 percentage points, with strong results in English II (87.4% vs. 62.7%), American Government (92.9% vs. 71.6%), American History (89.3% vs. 73.2%), and Biology (89.9% vs. 67.0%). Math is the clear internal gap: Geometry is 67.1% versus the district’s 76.6%, and Algebra I is 70.6% versus the district’s 84.8% and behind Licking Heights High School (74.7%) and Westerville-North High School (72.3%). Subgroup effectiveness is high for gifted students (98th percentile), English language learners (93rd), and special education students (92nd). The standout equity concern is low-socioeconomic-status students: the school ranked 49th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, down from 73rd percentile and 91st percentile in the prior two years, while the free/reduced-lunch rate rose from 13.56% to 22.49%.

Context is favorable. Free/reduced lunch is 22.49%, below Licking Heights High School (51.19%), Westerville-South High School (49.44%), Westerville-North High School (38.63%), and Westerville Central High School (38.32%). The student-teacher ratio is 16, better than Licking Heights High School (21), Westerville-North High School (17.3), Westerville-South High School (16.9), and Westerville Central High School (16.5). Per-student spending was $11,819, higher than many nearby schools. Overall, the school is high-performing with excellent graduation and strong English, social studies, and science outcomes, but parents should watch the math gap, rising chronic absenteeism relative to its district, and the low-SES effectiveness decline.
