It ranks 189th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (76th percentile, 4 stars), a steady climb from the 53rd–61st percentile range in the late 2010s and 2020–2021. The school has a 96.4% graduation rate, 15.0% chronic absenteeism, 67.56% free/reduced lunch participation, and a 14.2 student-teacher ratio.

Centerburg’s standout academic strengths are in humanities and biology.

Compared with nearby Highland High School, Centerburg has a much higher rank percentile (76 vs. 46), lower chronic absenteeism (15.0% vs. 17.7%), and higher proficiency in English II, American History, Biology, Geometry, and Algebra I, even though Centerburg’s free/reduced lunch rate is 67.56% versus Highland’s 35.26%. Centerburg also outperforms larger suburban schools like Westerville-North High School and Westerville Central High School in several subjects. Its low-income subgroup ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide, and special education students rank in the 74th percentile.

Watch areas include math proficiency relative to nearby high performers, a recent dip in female student subgroup rankings, and volatile gifted/talented results.

Graduation is strong at 96.4%, though several nearby schools are higher, including Fredericktown High School at 99.1%, Johnstown High School at 98.3%, and Big Walnut High School at 98.2%. Overall, Centerburg is a small, high-poverty, high-performing school that has improved steadily and now sits in Ohio’s top quartile.
