Summary

Wheelersburg High School is a 9–12 comprehensive high school serving 457 students as the only high school in the Wheelersburg Local district in southern Ohio, and it is the highest-ranked comprehensive high school among its nearby Scioto County-area peers.

The school ranked 168 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 — 79th percentile, 4 stars — about a 10-percentile-point gain in one year and a rebound from a 2020–21 low of 59th percentile, though still below its 2018–19 peak of 91st percentile. It outranks every comparable local school, including South Webster Junior/Senior High School (73rd percentile), Valley High School (55th), Clay High School (45th), Minford High School (30th), Portsmouth West High School (30th) and Portsmouth Junior High School/Portsmouth High School (27th). Its strengths are English II (88.6% proficient, 25.9 points above the state) and American History (94.4%, 21.2 points above), both the best results nearby. Geometry is the weak spot at 46.3% — only 3 points above the state — though most neighboring schools struggle there too.

Attendance and completion stand out: a 100% graduation rate and 9.2% chronic absenteeism, the lowest in the group by more than five points — next is Green High School at 14.5%, versus 45.3% at Portsmouth. All of this comes with the lowest per-pupil spending ($7,466) and the highest student-teacher ratio (26.8) in the comparison group. Low-income students ranked in the 70th percentile, close to the school overall, while female students (81st percentile) outpaced male students (68th). Worth watching: Geometry, the male-student gap, and a gifted-student subgroup that fell to the 36th percentile in 2023–24.
