Summary

Vinton County High School is a 9–12 public high school in small-town Mc Arthur, Ohio, serving 491 students in the Vinton County Local district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 578th of 795 Ohio high schools—the 27th percentile with 1 star—while the district ranked in the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 97.6%, chronic absenteeism was 23.4%, and its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 12.4.

The school’s profile is split: attendance and graduation look stronger than test scores. The 97.6% graduation rate is the second highest among nearby schools with data, behind Alexander Junior / Senior High School at 98.1%, and its 23.4% chronic absenteeism is lower than Logan High School, Alexander Junior / Senior High School, and Wellston High School. On 2025–2026 End-of-Course exams, however, the school was below the state in five of six subjects. American History was a bright spot at 73.8, above the state’s 73.2. The largest gaps were Algebra I at 47.3 versus 61.6, Biology at 55.1 versus 67.0, Geometry at 37.4 versus 43.3, and English II at 56.9 versus 62.7. Among ranked nearby high schools, it was the lowest-ranked; Jackson High School and Logan High School had higher rank percentiles, while Wellston High School was closer in rank but had much higher absenteeism at 33.5% and a lower graduation rate at 95.8%.

There are signs of progress and some subgroup strengths. Graduation rose from 92.3% in 2022–2023 to 97.6% in 2025–2026, and chronic absenteeism fell from 40.9% to 23.4%. Still, the school’s overall rank percentile slipped from 34th in 2023–2024 and 32nd in 2024–2025 to 27th in 2025–2026. Special education ranked in the 57th percentile with 3 stars and gifted/talented in the 56th percentile with 3 stars—both above the school overall—while low-SES ranked 38th percentile and declined over recent years. The main academic challenges remain Algebra I, Biology, English II, and Geometry. Overall, the school shows improving persistence and attendance but persistent academic underperformance relative to the state and most comparable nearby high schools.
