Summary

Anderson High School is a public high school located in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,177 students. The school is part of the Forest Hills Local School District, which is ranked 49th out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anderson High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Ohio, with a statewide ranking between 53rd and 134th out of 800-867 high schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 4-star or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time. Additionally, the school has particularly strong performance among certain student subgroups, ranking 4th or 5th out of 84-87 Ohio high schools for Asian students and 5th to 13th out of 279-328 Ohio high schools for African American students in recent years. Anderson High School has also maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 96.2% to 98.4% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby high schools, such as Turpin High School, which has similar academic outcomes, and schools in the Cincinnati Public Schools district, such as Withrow University High School and Shroder High School, which tend to have lower performance across various metrics, Anderson High School generally outperforms its peers. However, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 11.9% to 22.2% in recent years, which could be an area for the school to focus on to ensure all students have the opportunity to fully engage in their education.
