Better than 93% of Ohio high schools

Summary

Garaway High School is a public school in Sugarcreek, Ohio — a small village in Tuscarawas County — serving 441 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of Garaway Local. It is a small school with standout results: for 2025–2026 it ranked 59th of 795 Ohio high schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), a big jump from the 63rd percentile in 2021–2022, and its graduation rate is 98.7%.

Among nearby comprehensive high schools, Garaway High School holds the highest 2025–2026 state rank — ahead of Hiland High School (65th), Tuscarawas Valley Middle-High School (103rd), Indian Valley High School (239th), Dover High School (346th), New Philadelphia High School (411th), and Fairless High School (526th). Its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.3% is the lowest among these comprehensive peers, far below New Philadelphia's 25.2% and Dover's 19.7%. Every reported state test subject was above the state average, with especially wide margins in End-of-Course exams: Geometry +29.8 points, Algebra I +25.0, Biology +22.9, and American History +19.7.

Subgroup data suggests the school is particularly effective with low-income students — that group ranked in the 95th percentile in 2025–2026, higher than the school's overall percentile — while special education students have been in 4-star territory in recent years. Garaway produces these results while reporting the lowest per-student spending among nearby comprehensive peers ($8,466 in 2018–2019). Two items are worth watching: chronic absenteeism has climbed from 2.2% in 2023–2024 to 9.3% in 2025–2026, now above the district's 5.9%, and middle-grade math and ELA, though above state averages, rank third among nearby schools with middle grades.
