Summary

Anderson High School is a large public high school at 7560 Forest Rd on Cincinnati’s east side, serving grades 9–12 with 1,166 students in the Forest Hills Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 73rd of 795 Ohio high schools—91st percentile, 5 stars—a clear rebound from 85th percentile the prior year. Its 99.0% graduation rate is the highest among its comparison schools and above the district’s 98.6%.

Academically, Anderson beats the Ohio average in every tested subject, often by 20 points or more, but trails its own district in five of six subjects and Turpin High School in five. Government (91.6%), American History (90.1%), and Biology (90.3%) are close to district results. Geometry is the standout gap: 63.6% vs. the district’s 76.2%, Turpin’s 80.6%, and Mariemont High School’s 86.9%—though it matches Indian Hill High School (63.3%). Algebra I has improved sharply to 85.3%, now even with Turpin. Low-income students perform at the 87th percentile, and special-education students have risen from the 68th to 80th percentile. Spending is $10,882 per student with a 15.5 student–teacher ratio.

The main puzzle is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 22.4% vs. the district’s 12.2%, a roughly 9–10 point gap for five straight years, even as graduation reached 99.0%. Gifted and Talented students have fallen from the 98th percentile in 2018–19 to the 54th most recently. Nearby schools range widely: Turpin, Mariemont, and Indian Hill are top-tier, West Clermont High School and Clark Montessori High School are mid-tier, and Cincinnati Public Schools campuses like Withrow University High School and Riverview East Academy face much larger challenges. Anderson sits at the lower edge of the top tier—strong overall, with Geometry and absenteeism as the clearest areas to watch.
