Summary

Ridgedale Junior/Senior High School is a small, rural public school in Morral, Ohio, serving 315 students in grades 6–12 as part of Ridgedale Local. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 463rd of 795 (42nd percentile, 2 stars), higher than its district’s 29th percentile, 1-star standing. Its 100% graduation rate in 2025–2026 is a clear strength, following 97.3% in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 38.1% in 2021–2022 to 23.0% in 2025–2026, but it remains above the district rate of 18.2% and above nearby Upper Sandusky High School, River Valley High School, and Pleasant High School.

Academically, the school has a split profile. It is above the state in American Government (75.4% vs. 71.6%), American History (84.8% vs. 73.2%), Biology (70.6% vs. 67%), and English II (69.8% vs. 62.7%). Math is a major weakness: Geometry was 20.8% vs. the state’s 43.3%, and Algebra I was 51.1% vs. 61.6%. Among nearby traditional high schools, Geometry is second-lowest, ahead of only Bucyrus Secondary School (13.1%); Wynford High School, Upper Sandusky High School, River Valley High School, Pleasant High School, North Union High School, and Elgin High School all score higher. Middle school results are also below state: 6th-grade math 36.6% vs. 56.2%, 7th-grade math 28.3% vs. 48.6%, 8th-grade math 47.7% vs. 52%, with ELA below state as well.

Resources are relatively favorable: the student-teacher ratio was 11.7 in 2024–2025, the lowest among traditional nearby high schools, and spending was $10,783 per student in 2018–2019, near the top locally. About 55.24% of students received free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: male students ranked at the 50th percentile in 2025–2026, while female students were at the 31st and low-SES students at the 29th percentile (1 star). Overall, the school is mid-pack locally—Wynford High School, Upper Sandusky High School, River Valley High School, and Pleasant High School generally outperform it, while Bucyrus Secondary School, Harding High School, and Buckeye Community School - Marion are lower-performing. Its strongest distinction is social studies/history; math instruction and middle school readiness are the clearest priorities.
