Summary

Tuslaw High School is a 9–12 school serving 368 students in the Tuslaw Local district in Massillon, a small local district in western Stark County, Ohio. The district ranks 162nd of 773 Ohio districts (79th percentile, 4 stars), while the high school ranks 225th of 795 Ohio high schools (72nd percentile, 4 stars) for 2025–2026, putting it in the top third statewide. It sits among mid-size, fringe-metro high schools such as Manchester High School, Dalton High School, Fairless High School and Northwest High School.

The school's strengths are clear and consistent. Proficiency is 96.6% in American Government (state: 71.6%) and 87.8% in Biology (state: 67.0%) — the highest scores of any comparable nearby school in both subjects — plus 79.0% in English II and 84.4% in American History, all well above state averages. Its 100% graduation rate for 2025–26 tops every measured peer, including Jackson High School (98.4%) and Perry High School (97.9%). Special education students rank 120th of 575 (79th percentile, 4 stars), now above the school as a whole. Tuslaw achieves this while spending $8,753 per student, below the peer average of roughly $9,880.

Math is the concern. Geometry proficiency is 44.0% — only 0.7 points above the state average and 7th of 8 peers — and Algebra I is 52.1%, below the state (61.6%) and below its own district, having fallen for four straight years (80.5 → 77.4 → 70.5 → 52.1). Overall, the school slipped from 80th of 867 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2022–23 to 225th of 795 (72nd percentile) in 2025–26, with declines across student groups concentrated in math. Chronic absenteeism is 17.3% at the school versus 10.6% in the district, and free/reduced-lunch eligibility has risen from 21.6% to 31.8% over three years. By contrast, nearby Washington High School in Massillon City sits at the 21st percentile with 55.3% absenteeism.

Tuslaw Local Schools is a network of "the good ole boy" mentality of teachers. They encourage bullying and harassment and usually partake in it. The curriculum is elementary in the High School, at best. If you look up their college readiness it is at a 4.1 That is ridiculous. These kids are destined to be ditch diggers and McDonalds employees. Tuslaw doesn't "expect the best" they are proud to offer and operate on the "bare minimum" I hope that you have researched neighboring schools with open enrollment, you will need to utilize those options.
