Summary

Avon Lake High School is a grades 9–12 public high school in Avon Lake, Ohio, part of the Avon Lake City district, enrolling 1,054 students. It ranks 63rd of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), and the district ranks 53rd of 773. A consistent 5-star school over the past decade, it peaked at the 96th percentile in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate is 99.3%, while chronic absenteeism is 23.3% at the school versus 15.4% for the district. In 2024–2025, 15.37% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 16.7.

The school is top-tier but not the top-ranked school among its closest high-performing neighbors. Rocky River High School, Bay High School, and Avon High School rank above it statewide, while it sits above Westlake High School. Its 99.3% graduation rate is the highest in that group. English and social studies are strengths: English II 90.4%, American History 92.5%, Biology 91.1%, and American Government 88.1%. Math is the relative soft spot: Geometry is 67.6%, well below Bay High School (88.7%), Rocky River High School (85.0%), Avon High School (87.0%), and Westlake High School (74.9%). Algebra I is 79.1%, above Avon High School’s 77.1%, Westlake High School’s 71.2%, and North Ridgeville High School’s 72.9%, but below Rocky River High School (93.8%), Bay High School (87.5%), and the district’s 88.3%. Chronic absenteeism is higher than several nearby high performers, though lower than Westlake High School, North Olmsted High School, and Brookside High School.

The school’s overall 5-star rating masks subgroup gaps. Special Education Students ranked in the 74th percentile in 2025–2026 and the 70th in 2024–2025, down from the 92nd in 2023–2024. Low Socio Economic Status Students ranked in the 55th percentile in 2025–2026 and the 52nd in 2024–2025, down from the 72nd in 2023–2024. These school-effectiveness measures show these groups are not achieving the same relative statewide standing as the school overall. The school remains strong with excellent completion outcomes and above-state proficiency in every tested subject, but families should note the math gap versus top nearby districts, higher-than-district chronic absenteeism, and subgroup differences.
