Summary

Western Reserve High School is a public high school located in Collins, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 287 students. The school is part of the Western Reserve Local District, which is ranked 427 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Western Reserve High School has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.3% to 97.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Students at the school generally perform better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.8% to 32.5% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.2% to 89.2% in recent years, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Western Reserve High School has consistently high test scores and graduation rates, its statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 218 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2018-2019 to 433 out of 855 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the state. When compared to nearby high schools, Western Reserve High School generally performs better than the lower-ranked schools, such as Wellington High School and New London High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Huron High School and Firelands High School.
