Summary

Tri-Valley High School is a public school in Dresden, Ohio, serving grades 8–12 with 730 students as part of Tri-Valley Local. In 2025–2026, it ranked 247 of 795 statewide (69th percentile, 3 stars), while the district ranked 184 of 773 (76th percentile, 4 stars). It has improved from around the 48th–54th percentile in 2017–2018 through 2021–2022 to the 60th–74th percentile recently, peaking at 225 of 864 (74th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024. Graduation is strong at 97.3% in 2025–2026, and chronic absenteeism improved from 30.4% in 2021–2022 to 14.6% in 2025–2026. The student-teacher ratio was 20.8.

Academically, the school is above Ohio in five of six common End-of-Course subjects: 77.7% in American Government, 88.2% in American History, 83.3% in Biology, 84.4% in English II, 67.0% in Algebra I, and 39.7% in Geometry. English II is a standout, 21.7 points above the state. Geometry is the clearest weakness, below the state’s 43.3%, and Algebra I has declined from 75.3% in 2023–2024 to 67.0%. Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, the school’s average End-of-Course proficiency is highest at 73.4%, ahead of Licking Valley High School (66.6%), River View High School (65.2%), Coshocton High School (63.0%), West Muskingum High School (60.5%), and Zanesville High School (52.1%). Its 14.6% chronic absenteeism is far better than those schools, which range from 20.6% to 37.6%; only Coshocton Opportunity School is similar at 14.5%, but it is an alternative school.

Class sizes are comparatively large and spending relatively low: the student-teacher ratio of 20.8 is high compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, and 2018–2019 per-student spending of $8,685 was lower than most nearby schools. Subgroup results show a gender gap—female students ranked in the 74th percentile, male students in the 59th—and low-SES students in the 61st. The biggest equity concern is special education: that subgroup ranked in the 12th percentile in each of the last two years, down from the 36th percentile in 2023–2024. Overall, the school is a high-performing, improving regional school with strong attendance, graduation, and test results, but Geometry, Algebra I’s recent decline, class size, and the special education gap are areas to monitor.

What people are saying

by a student
Monday, March 7, 2011

Tri-valley is a great school, there is some drama here and there, but it is usually taken care of. My main concern as a student is a majority of other students at Tri-Valley do not care whether they ruin what you own or not. Not all of the students are disrespectful, just a handful of them.
