Summary

Minford High School is a public school serving about 295 students in grades 9–12 in Minford, Ohio, a rural community in Scioto County, and it is part of the Minford Local district. In 2025–26, the school ranked 556 of 795 Ohio high schools (30th percentile, 2 stars), below its district's 41st percentile — a decline from the 51st percentile in 2023–24 and the 55th percentile in 2016–17. Among nearby high schools, Wheelersburg High School (79th percentile) and South Webster Junior/Senior High School (73rd) rank far higher, while Minford sits roughly even with Portsmouth West High School (30th) and ahead of Portsmouth Junior High School/Portsmouth High School (27th).

Graduation is a bright spot: 95.0% in 2025–26, above Eastern High School (90.5%) and the Portsmouth school (93.8%), though several nearby schools, including Wheelersburg, reported 100%, and Valley High School reported 98.7%. The bigger concern is chronic absenteeism, at 35.5% — far above the district's 22.9% and second-highest among nearby schools behind only Portsmouth (45.3%). Wheelersburg's rate is 9.2%. This is the clearest red flag in the data, since missed instructional time can affect test performance.

Test results are mixed. American Government (77.2% vs. 71.6% state) and Geometry (47.2% vs. 43.3%) are competitive. American History (66.2% vs. 73.2% state) is the lowest among nearby schools with reported data, and Biology (57.1%), English II (56.3%), and Algebra I (57.8%) all trail state averages. Integrated Math II was reported at 2.6% versus 35.3% statewide — an extreme outlier that may reflect a small or specialized cohort. School effectiveness rankings are stronger for low-income students (49th percentile) and special education students (40th) than for male students (27th), and special education rankings slipped from 55th to 40th. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.3 and modest per-student spending ($8,408 in 2018–19), attendance and the lagging subject areas are the key areas to watch.
