Summary

Bellbrook High School is a public school serving about 843 students in grades 9–12 in Bellbrook, Ohio, a small city in Greene County roughly 10 miles southeast of Dayton, and it is the flagship high school of the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local district. In 2025-26 it ranked #30 of 795 Ohio high schools — the 96th percentile, 5 stars — the highest rank in its ten-year history, up from #37 the year before and #156 of 800 (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2017-18. It has earned a 5-star rating every year since 2018-19, and the district ranks 32nd of 773 Ohio districts (96th percentile, 5 stars).

Academically, Bellbrook exceeds the state average in every tested subject, by 22.6 to 40.2 points. Geometry is the standout: 83.5% proficient versus a 43.3% state rate, nearly double. The graduation rate is 96.9%, and chronic absenteeism is 11.3% — the lowest of all nine nearby high schools, better than Oakwood High School's 13.3%, and far below Belmont High School's 68.7% and Xenia High School's 37.9%. Attendance has improved markedly, dropping from 15.3% to 11.3%. Free/reduced lunch rose from 12.86% to 22.54% in two years, yet every end-of-course subject improved in that window, including the low-income student group (89th to 92nd percentile).

Among nearby schools, only Oakwood High School ranks higher (98th percentile). Bellbrook outranks Centerville High School, Waynesville High School, Kettering Fairmont High School, Beavercreek High School, Dayton Early College Academy Inc, Xenia High School, Belmont High School, and Greene County Career Center. Algebra I is the one soft spot — 87.8%, below the district's 91.9% in each of the past four years — though still above every nearby school except Oakwood. Note that spending data is from 2018-19 and subgroup figures for small populations are volatile.

Open Quote my three children went to this school and did very well academically ….all are successful in their work and did well in college, two of the three went to UD ...the third is a well known realtor in the area who chose to go into business rather than go to college....I was very pleased with the education my children received in Bellbrook.
