Summary

Paint Valley High School is a public high school located in Bainbridge, Ohio, serving 226 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Paint Valley Local District, which is ranked 535 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paint Valley High School has seen steady improvement in its four-year graduation rates, rising from 89.3% in 2022-2023 to 98.7% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, ranging from 24.6% to 40.9%, which is a concern as it is higher than the state average. Academically, the school performs well in Biology but struggles in Geometry and Algebra I, with proficiency rates below the state average. Interestingly, male students generally outperform female students, and low socioeconomic status students at the school outperform their peers both at the school and across the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Piketon Junior/Senior High School and Unioto High School, Paint Valley High School generally performs on par or slightly below average. The school's spending per student ($9,482 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased from 27 in 2021-2022 to 32.2 in 2023-2024, which is higher than nearby schools and may impact the quality of instruction and student support.
