Summary

Taylor High School is a 9–12 school of about 608 students in the Three Rivers Local district, serving the small community of Cleves on the western edge of Hamilton County, roughly 15 miles from downtown Cincinnati. It is a mid-to-small comprehensive high school — about a quarter the size of Oak Hills High School and half of William Henry Harrison High School — and currently ranks 395th of 795 Ohio high schools, at the 50th percentile, below its own district's 62nd. That rank fell 60 spots and 11 percentile points in 2025–26, the largest single-year drop in its ten-year history.

Where Taylor stands out is completion and attendance: a 100% graduation rate, the highest of any nearby comparison school and at or above 96.9% for five straight years, plus the lowest chronic absenteeism in the peer group at 22.8%, improving for four years running. On state tests, American History (84.8% proficient) and Biology (79.1%) beat the state by more than 11 points, and English II (70.4%) also tops it. Math is the persistent weak spot — Geometry at 42.3% and Algebra I at 60.2%, both just under state averages, with Geometry below the state line in all four available years and 22 points behind Oak Hills.

Comparisons are revealing. William Henry Harrison High School ranks one spot away at the same 50th percentile, yet the profiles are mirror images: Harrison wins Geometry by 16.7 points, while Taylor wins graduation (100% vs. 95.4%), attendance, humanities and science. Against higher-ranked Oak Hills High School, Taylor spends roughly $1,000 less per student yet matches it in Biology and beats it in American History. The concern is the highest-need students: every subgroup except Gifted & Talented has declined over two to three years, and low-SES students now sit at the 32nd percentile statewide. The 2025–26 slide traces mainly to a 12-point Government drop and an Algebra I slip — History, Biology, English II and Geometry all improved or held at four-year highs.
