Summary

Newton High School is a small public school in Pleasant Hill, OH, serving 291 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Newton Local district, and it ranks 98th of 795 Ohio high schools (88th percentile, 4 stars) for 2025–26.

Academically, Newton is above the Ohio state average in every reported subject area except 8th grade math. Its Biology proficiency (90.0) is the highest among nearby schools, while Government (93.3), English II (86.5), and Algebra I (82.4) are near the top of the local group — Government and English II trail only Miami East High School, and Algebra I is just behind Arcanum High School. Geometry (52.9) is comparatively weaker but still above the state. The clearest academic watch item is 8th grade math, where Newton scored below the state in both 2024–25 and 2025–26 after being above it in 2023–24. In grades 7–8, Newton generally outperforms nearby Franklin Monroe High School and Bradford High School except in 8th grade math and 8th grade science.

Attendance and graduation are strengths. Chronic absenteeism fell from 15.9% in 2022–23 to 6.6% in 2025–26 — far below Piqua High School (33.8%), Milton-Union High School (30.9%), and Troy High School (23.5%). The 2025–26 graduation rate was 96.4%. Reported subgroup results are all above average, with female students ranking higher than male students, though the low-SES subgroup's 79th percentile rank is below the school's overall 88th — a gap worth watching. Newton spends mid-pack compared with nearby districts.
