Test scores beat the Ohio average in every reported subject. Russia posts 100% in End-of-Course American History (state: 73.2%), the highest among nearby schools, plus 96.4% in Algebra I (state: 61.6%), 94.4% in Biology (67%), 91.7% in English II (62.7%), and 85.7% in Geometry (43.3%). Those results put Russia in the same elite local tier as Marion Local High School, Minster Junior/Senior High School, Fort Loramie Junior-Senior High School, and Versailles High School, all far ahead of Piqua High School, Covington High School, and Bradford High School. The clearest relative soft spot is 8th grade math at 63.6% — above the state's 52% but behind Minster, Fort Loramie, and Houston High School.
Attendance is exceptional: chronic absenteeism was 3.4% in 2025–2026 (2.4% district-wide), among the lowest locally and far below Piqua (33.8%) and Bradford (25.0%). Subgroup results are strong — female students ranked 2nd of 763 statewide, male students 95th percentile, and gifted students 9th of 244. About 15.6% of students were economically disadvantaged, higher than Marion Local, Fort Loramie, and Minster but far below Bradford and Houston. Per-student spending was $10,062 in 2018–2019. Note that the reported student-teacher ratio of 42.6 is far above every nearby school and may reflect a reporting definition or data artifact, so interpret it cautiously.
