Summary

Riverside High School in De Graff, OH, is a small rural public school serving 260 students in grades 7–12 as the secondary campus of the Riverside Local district, which ranks 431st of 773 Ohio districts (44th percentile, 2 stars). The school itself ranks 439th of 795 high schools (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, below most neighbors and down from a 61st-percentile peak in 2024–2025. That volatility reflects its small size: with roughly 260 students across six grades, one cohort’s results can swing the school 15+ percentile points in a year.

Riverside’s clearest strength is completion: its 98.2% graduation rate matches the peer median and far exceeds Sidney High School (91.8%) and Jackson Center High School (92.5%), even though its 20.2% chronic absenteeism is higher than most neighbors except Sidney and Bellefontaine High School. Academically, social studies and science are competitive: American Government 81.8% vs. state 71.6%, American History 80% vs. 73.2%, Biology 75% vs. 67%, English II 66.7% vs. 62.7%, and 8th Grade Science 62.2% vs. 61.2%. Math is the weak spot: Geometry is 20.4% vs. state 43.3%, the lowest among peers (next lowest: Indian Lake High School at 36.2%; Jackson Center High School reaches 91.4%), and 7th Grade Math is 15% vs. state 48.6%, far below Jackson Center High School (85.7%) and Fairlawn High School (75%). Middle-grade ELA also lags (47.7% vs. 58.3%).

Subgroup data show bright spots and one gap: low-income students rank 62nd percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 and reached 85th (4 stars) in 2024–2025, above the school’s overall standing, while male students have fallen to 32nd percentile and female students sit at 60th—a 28-point internal gap. Resources are leaner: per-pupil spending was $9,684 (2018–2019), below the peer median, with a 16.2 student–teacher ratio. Because Riverside High School competes with a cluster of high-performing rural high schools—Jackson Center High School, Anna High School, West Liberty-Salem High School, and Fairlawn High School all rank in Ohio’s top 15%—its 45th percentile reflects a harder local benchmark. Most actionable are the math sequence (Geometry, 7th grade math) and middle-school literacy, not a schoolwide academic collapse.
