Summary

Adena High School is a public school in Frankfort, Ohio serving roughly 297 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Adena Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 574th out of 795 Ohio high schools — the 28th percentile with 1 star — while the district placed 573rd of 773 (26th percentile, 1 star). That marks a notable slide from 2017–2018, when the school reached the 50th percentile with 3 stars; recent years dipped to 43rd percentile in 2020–2021 and 39th in 2023–2024 before landing near the lower end.

Academics here are sharply split between the humanities and math. English II proficiency was 67.8%, above Ohio's 62.7% and above every nearby school except McClain High School (70.0%). American Government came in at 74.1%, also above the state average, though behind Westfall High School and Zane Trace High School. Math is the clearest weakness: Algebra I was 33.8% against a state average of 61.6% — the lowest among comparable nearby high schools — after falling from 48.2% in 2022–2023. Geometry dropped from 43.2% in 2023–2024 to 30.1%, and Biology (56.6%) sits below the state's 67.0%. English II, by contrast, climbed from 52.4% to 67.8% over that span.

Graduation outcomes are comparatively strong at 97.3%, up from 86.4% in 2021–2022 and near the top of the local group. Chronic absenteeism improved from 32.4% to 21.5%, though it remains above the district's 13.2% and higher than Westfall High School (15.1%) and McClain High School (13.5%). The student-teacher ratio rose from 16.1 to 19.8, and per-student spending was $8,335 in 2018–2019, among the lower figures locally. Effectiveness rankings for specific student groups are uneven and have slipped in 2025–2026 — male students (19th percentile), low-income students (15th percentile), and female students (34th percentile) all trail their earlier marks. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported for Adena.
