Summary

Ridgemont High School is a small, rural public school in Mount Victory, Ohio, in Hardin County, serving about 247 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Ridgemont Local district. With roughly 35 students per grade, a single class cohort can shift building-wide results by several points, so yearly swings are best read as directional signals rather than precise measurements.

Academically, Ridgemont ranked 497th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26 — the 37th percentile, or 2 stars — while its district ranked lower, in the 30th percentile. Results vary sharply by subject. Social studies is a genuine strength: 84.4% of students passed American Government versus 71.6% statewide, and that figure has climbed four years running, while 8th grade math (64.3%) also beats the state's 52%. Math and English are weaker — 7th grade English (32.3% against 62.7% statewide), 7th grade math (33.3%), Geometry (32.5%) and English II (53.8%) all trail state averages, and 7th grade is the sharpest gap. Two years ago the school reached the 80th percentile with strong scores across the board; that spike has not repeated.

Where Ridgemont stands out is in getting students across the finish line. Its graduation rate has been 100% for five straight years, above Kenton High School (94.7%) and Hardin Northern High School (94.4%), and its chronic absenteeism rate of 13.6% is the lowest among comparable nearby high schools — roughly half the peer average and down from 35.3% four years ago. Students from low-income families have ranked above the school's overall standing for three years (53rd percentile). One new concern: a gender gap opened in 2025–26, with boys at the 53rd percentile and girls at the 26th. For comparison, Hardin Northern ranks higher academically (73rd percentile) but has lower attendance and graduation rates.
