Summary

Buckeye High School is a public comprehensive high school serving grades 9–12 in the Buckeye Local district in Medina, OH, enrolling 636 students, and it remains a solidly above-average school: it ranks 179 of 795 Ohio high schools (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, down from 91st percentile and 5 stars the year before, but still above the state median and well ahead of its mid-2010s 3-star results.

Academically, Buckeye's profile is split. It beats the state in every tested subject, with its strongest relative results in Geometry (65.6%, 22.3 points above the state), Algebra I (78.4%), American Government (87.6%), and American History (87.5%). English II is the clearest soft spot: at 68.9%, it is last among the nearby schools and has fallen from 85.1% in 2022–2023 even as the state rate rose slightly. Biology (74.4%) ranks near the bottom of the nearby group, above only Midview High School. Among nearby schools, Highland High School is the academic leader, while Strongsville High School, Columbia High School, and Medina High School also outperform Buckeye in English II and Biology.

Attendance and graduation are bright spots. The 98.5% graduation rate is comparable to nearby schools, and chronic absenteeism improved sharply from about 20.5% to 14.5% — second lowest nearby after Highland High School. Subgroup results, though, dropped notably: low-income students fell from the 94th percentile and 5 stars to the 51st percentile and 3 stars, and special education students from the 95th to the 61st percentile. Buckeye also achieves this with relatively few resources — its 2018–2019 per-student spending of $9,188 was second lowest among the comparison group, and its 20.3 student-teacher ratio is among the highest. The key question is whether 2025–2026 was a one-year dip or the start of a trend.
