Summary

South Point High School is a public high school located in South Point, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 343 students. The school is part of the South Point Local School District, which is ranked 466 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

South Point High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, typically ranking between 500-600 out of around 800-900 schools, and has received a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other Ohio high schools. The school's performance is particularly low for White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio high schools for these subgroups. However, the school performs relatively better for African American students, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio high schools for this subgroup. Additionally, South Point High School's four-year graduation rates have been declining, dropping from 97.2% in 2022-2023 to 91.2% in 2024-2025, and the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 24.4% to 29.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Nearby schools like Green High School, Symmes Valley High School, and Ironton High School generally outperform South Point High School in terms of statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. These schools have higher ratings from SchoolDigger and better performance across various student subgroups. To address these challenges, South Point High School could benefit from implementing targeted interventions and support programs to improve attendance and support underperforming student subgroups, as well as collaborating with higher-performing nearby schools to learn from their successful strategies.

I have 6 kids at South Point and I love the schools! The principals really care about their success and always try to help when necessary. This is a very small, tight knit community and the schools reflect that! Close Quote
