Summary

Lynchburg-Clay High School is a small public high school in Lynchburg, Ohio, serving roughly 278 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Lynchburg-Clay Local district. In 2025–2026 the district ranked 262nd of 773 Ohio districts (66th percentile, 3 stars), while the high school ranked 359th of 795 high schools (55th percentile, 3 stars). The school has come a long way from 2016–2017, when it placed 552nd of 773 (29th percentile, 1 star), and it peaked at 4 stars in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 before settling into a steady middle-to-above-middle 3-star profile.

Its clearest strengths are graduation and class size. The 2025–2026 graduation rate was 100.0%, tying Fayetteville-Perry High School for the best among nearby schools and ahead of Williamsburg High School, Eastern High School, Fairfield Local High School, Clermont Northeastern High School, Western Brown High School, Whiteoak High School, Blanchester High School, and Hillsboro High School. The 12:1 student-teacher ratio is lower than most nearby high schools. Test scores are strongest in science and humanities: Biology at 82.7% proficient (versus 67% statewide) is the highest among the comparison schools, and American Government (78.3%) and English II (71.4%) also beat state averages. Special Education students (74th percentile, 4 stars) and Low Socio Economic Status students (77th percentile, 4 stars) rank well above the school overall.

Math is the weak spot. Geometry proficiency of 30.7% falls below the state's 43.3% and trails Eastern, Williamsburg, and Blanchester, and Algebra I (72.7%) trails the district's 80.5%. Chronic absenteeism of 18.4% exceeds the district's 14.9% and has topped it every year since 2021–2022. Economic need is rising, with 52.52% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from 40.25% in 2022–2023. Gifted and Talented students ranked 31st percentile (2 stars) in 2024–2025. Overall the school sits mid-pack regionally — essentially tied with Eastern (55th percentile), behind Williamsburg (82nd) and Fairfield (60th), and ahead of Hillsboro (48th) and Fayetteville-Perry (44th).
