Summary

Chardon High School is a public high school in Chardon, Ohio, serving grades 8–12 with 1,054 students as part of Chardon Local, a district ranked 39th of 773 in Ohio.

Chardon High School ranks 23rd of 795 high schools statewide for 2025–2026, the top-ranked school in its nearby comparison set — ahead of West Geauga High School (25th) and Kirtland High School (37th), and well ahead of larger neighbors such as Mentor High School (116th) and Riverside Junior/Senior High School (285th). That ranking has climbed steadily, from 152nd in 2021–2022. On 2025–2026 End-of-Course exams, students scored 97.3% proficient in American History, 96.3% in Biology, 93.8% in Algebra I, and 88.5% in English II; Geometry (78.1%) was comparatively lower but still far above the state average of 43.3%. The graduation rate was 96.9%.

The school also performs strongly across student groups: female students ranked 9th of 763 statewide, low-income students 25th of 761, and special education students 61st of 575. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest weakness, at 24.1% — above the Chardon Local rate of 17.7% and above most high-performing neighbors, though below Mentor and Riverside. Notably, Chardon achieves these results with the highest student-teacher ratio (21.6) in the comparison group and moderate per-student spending ($11,345 in 2018–2019). One item to watch: because the school includes grade 8, its 8th-grade math (70.1) and ELA (80.5) sit below district averages (80.4 and 85.0), even though both are above state and nearby-peer averages.
