Summary

Western Reserve High School is a public high school located in Berlin Center, Ohio, serving 135 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Western Reserve Local District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 34th out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 345th out of 855 in 2024-2025, but has generally maintained a ranking in the top half of Ohio high schools, indicating relatively strong academic performance.

Western Reserve High School boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate for the past three school years, but its chronic absenteeism rate has ranged from 14.4% to 27.9% over the same period, with the most recent year showing a rate of 16.6%. The school generally performs above the state and district averages in most subject areas, with particularly strong results in American Government, Biology, and English II, though its performance in Geometry and Algebra I has been more mixed. Interestingly, the school's ranking for male students has been generally higher than for female students, suggesting potential differences in academic performance between genders.

Compared to some nearby schools, such as Canfield High School and South Range High School, Western Reserve High School has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 51st out of 805 Ohio high schools in 2022-2023 for this subgroup. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($8,781 in 2018-2019) is lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Lordstown High School ($13,952) and Jackson-Milton High School ($12,864), which could be a factor to consider when evaluating the school's performance and identifying strategies to support student success.
