Summary

John Glenn High School is a grades 8–12 school with 542 students in New Concord, Ohio, serving as the high school of the East Muskingum Local district. That district ranks 174th of 773 Ohio districts (77th percentile, 4 stars) — the strongest in this group of nearby districts — but the high school itself slipped to the 65th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26, down from the 74th percentile and 4 stars the year before, and its weakest showing in seven years.

Academics here are unusually lopsided. American History proficiency of 92.4% is the highest any school in this comparison set recorded in any subject, and English II at 79.7% is second only to Tri-Valley High School; both beat the state by double digits. Geometry (48.9%) is second-best in the region. Algebra I is the glaring exception: 43.6%, roughly 18 points below the state and about a 20-point one-year drop from levels that had been above the state for years — sixth of eight area high schools. The school achieves this on the lowest per-student spending in the group ($8,535) and a higher-than-average student-teacher ratio (17.3).

Two other signals stand out. Graduation is 94.0%, the lowest of the nine schools reporting — below Cambridge High School, Ridgewood High School, and Tri-Valley — after reaching 99.4% the previous year, though still above a typical Ohio rate. Chronic absenteeism (19.1%) is third-best of nine high schools but higher than the district's 11.5%. The school's best story is equity: low-income students rank at the 84th percentile statewide, well above the school overall, while special education fell to the 47th percentile — the only 2-star subgroup.
