Summary

West Holmes High School is a 9–12 school in rural Millersburg, Ohio, serving 478 students as part of the West Holmes Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 430th of 795 Ohio high schools — 46th percentile, 2 stars — which places it below its own district's standing of 291st of 773 (62nd percentile, 3 stars). The school's rank has slipped steadily, from the 67th percentile in 2022–2023 to 63rd, then 56th, then 46th; the last time it was this low was 2015–2016. Among nearby schools, Hiland High School, Waynedale High School, Triway High School, Hillsdale 7-12, Wooster High School, and Loudonville High School all currently rank higher, while Danville High School (46th) and River View High School (44th) are close.

There are real strengths. The graduation rate has climbed from 89.0% in 2021–2022 to 98.6% in 2025–2026, above the district's 95.5%, though several neighbors report 100%. Test scores are strongest in social studies and English: American History 81.9% proficient versus the state's 73.2%, American Government 73.8%, and English II 67.4%, all above state and district averages. The school is also notably effective for gifted and talented students, at the 77th percentile with 4 stars.

The clearest concerns are attendance and math. Chronic absenteeism is 25.2%, far above the district's 14.3% and the highest among nearby comprehensive high schools (Danville 10.9%, Hillsdale 13.8%, Hiland 14.8%, Waynedale 23.1%, Triway 23.9%). Algebra I proficiency is 56.0%, below both district (60.5%) and state (61.6%), and Geometry, while above state at 45.8%, is still low overall. Special education students rank at the 21st percentile with 1 star, a sharp drop from the 67th percentile in 2023–2024. With 35.15% of students economically disadvantaged — lower than Wooster, River View, Danville, and Loudonville — poverty alone doesn't explain the pattern.
