Summary

Minerva High School is a grades 9–12 school serving about 424 students in the small Ohio community of Minerva, part of Minerva Local. It sits in Ohio's lower-middle tier: the school ranked 434th of 795 in 2025–2026 (45th percentile, 2 stars), and its percentile has stayed between 41st and 49th over the past five years. One important context point: the district overall looks stronger than the high school — Minerva Local ranks 297th of 773 districts (62nd percentile, 3 stars), so the high school's own results trail the district profile.

Outcomes are a relative strength. The graduation rate is 97.3% in 2025–2026, up from 93.9% in 2021–2022 and near the top of the nearby group, where only three schools reported 100%. Chronic absenteeism fell sharply, from 43.9% in 2023–2024 to 16.9% in 2025–2026, though that is still roughly double the district's 8.5% rate. The student-teacher ratio was 15.8 in 2024–2025. Per-student spending was $8,061 in the available 2018–2019 data, lower than most neighboring districts, and 64.88% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–2024.

Test scores are uneven. English II is the standout at 78.6% proficiency versus the state's 62.7% — the highest among the listed nearby schools. American Government is the clearest weakness at 62.5%, 9.1 points below the state and near the bottom locally, though it has improved from 44.7% in 2022–2023. Geometry (49.5%) and Algebra I (65.9%) are both above state averages. By subgroup, low-income students rank 68th percentile and male students 67th, while female students (29th) and special education students (14th) rank much lower. Overall, Minerva trails West Branch High School, Carrollton High School, and Louisville High School, compares with Malvern High School, Mckinley High School, East Canton High School, and United High School, and generally outperforms Alliance High School and Canton Harbor High School.
