Summary

Western Reserve High School is a public school in Collins, Ohio, serving grades 8–12 with 291 students as part of the Western Reserve Local district. Its 2025–2026 state rank is 280th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 65th percentile, or 3 stars — a sharp jump from 433rd of 855 (49th percentile, 2 stars) the year before, and the school's best showing since 2021–2022. The district overall ranks 340th of 773 Ohio districts (56th percentile, 3 stars).

Academically, 2025–2026 was a broad step forward: Western Reserve scored above the state average in all six reported End-of-Course subjects. American History (93%) is the highest among nearby ranked schools, and Biology (84.5%) is second only to Huron High School. American Government (77.8%) and English II (70.2%) are also above state. Math is the relative weak spot — Geometry (45.1%) is only slightly above the state's 43.3%, and Algebra I (62.5%) trails the district and several neighbors. Graduation is a clear strength at 98.8%, near the top of the local group, while chronic absenteeism of 20.7% remains above the district's 14.8%.

Locally, Western Reserve sits essentially tied with Edison High School, behind Huron High School, Vermilion High School, and Firelands High School, and ahead of New London High School, Norwalk High School, Oberlin High School, and Wellington High School. It serves a high-poverty population — 74.57% free/reduced lunch, the highest among nearby schools with reported data — yet outranks several lower-poverty neighbors. Subgroup results are striking but volatile: special-education students ranked 30th of 575 (95th percentile, 5 stars), up from the 29th percentile a year earlier, and low-income students rose to the 70th percentile. The student-teacher ratio has improved to 16.8.
