Summary

Northmont High School in Clayton, Ohio, is a large public school serving grades 8–12 with 1,369 students, and it is part of the Northmont City district. It ranks 259th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 — the 67th percentile with 3 stars — which places it above the state median but outside the top quarter. The school improved over the past decade, reaching the 72nd percentile with 4 stars in 2021–2022, and has since held steady around the 67th–69th percentile.

Academically, Northmont High School generally scores above state averages: 86.0% proficiency in American Government, 83.5% in American History, 81.1% in Biology, 72.0% in English II, and 56.8% in Geometry, against a state Geometry figure of 43.3%. Algebra I is the clear weak spot at 55.6%, below both the state (61.6%) and the district (68.3%). Graduation is a major strength at 97.7%, essentially tied with Brookville High School (98.4%) and Milton-Union High School (97.8%), and far ahead of Trotwood-Madison High School (86.2%), Meadowdale High School (73.7%), Horizon Science Academy Dayton High School (93.1%), RAM Nation Virtual Academy (66.7%), Five Rivers Career Prep High School (47.8%), and Engage High School (30.0%).

Chronic absenteeism is 22.9% — better than those same nearby urban, charter, virtual, and alternative schools, but worse than Brookville's 10.5% and slightly above the district's 20.1%. Subgroup results are a bright spot: Hispanic students rank at the 92nd percentile and African American students at the 83rd percentile statewide, both above the school's overall standing, while English learner and gifted students also rank well and special education slipped to the 62nd percentile. Notably, Brookville outranks Northmont and posts higher results in American History, Biology, English II, and Algebra I despite a higher free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting poverty alone does not explain the gap. Spending data is dated (2018–2019), and very small groups, such as military-connected students, should be read cautiously.
