Summary

Northmont High School is a public high school located in Clayton, Ohio, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 1,371 students. The school is part of the Northmont City School District, which is ranked 274 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northmont High School consistently outperforms the state average in Ohio State Test proficiency rates across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, and Algebra I. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Northmont High School had an 87.2% proficiency rate in American Government, compared to the state average of 72.6%. The school also performs particularly well in terms of its subgroup rankings, ranking highly for African American, Hispanic, and White student groups, as well as for students with special education needs and low socioeconomic status. Northmont High School has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 96.5% to 98.5% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Northmont High School to nearby schools, such as Brookville High School, it becomes evident that Northmont outperforms many of its counterparts, particularly in terms of academic achievement and graduation rates. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, reaching 28.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address to ensure continued student success.
