Waynesville High School has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in Ohio, ranking as high as 43rd out of 867 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a strong track record of academic performance, with high graduation rates ranging from 95.4% to 98.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Waynesville students also consistently outperform the state and local district averages on Ohio State Tests across various subjects, with proficiency rates as high as 94.9% in Biology.

While Springboro High School and Bellbrook High School also have strong academic records and are ranked highly in the state, Waynesville High School's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 16.56% to 19.27%, suggests it serves a more affluent student population compared to some of the nearby schools. This may contribute to the school's exceptional performance, though it is important to note that socioeconomic status is not the sole factor in educational outcomes.

by a parent
Friday, April 22, 2016

We moved to Waynesville specifically for their high school. My daughter had been in Christian private school (Pre-K - 8th) and wanted to go to a "normal" school for her high school years. After doing lots of research we narrowed it down to the two best schools in our area. She did a shadow day at one and we had a walk around (met teachers, classes offered, etc.) at the other. The Waynesville staff was very attentive and welcoming to my daughter and I, very different than the other schools attitude. My daughter is finishing up her junior year now at Waynesville and she is doing GREAT! She has continued her 4.0 GPA even while taking AP and honors classes. She absolutely loves her teachers. She speaks highly of them often even if the class has been a hard one. I feel the teachers there take a one on one interest with the kids that actually care about their grades. The office staff had ALWAYS been nice and respectful when I have called with questions....and I have had many being that I was use to private schools in the past. All schools do have some issues but the good at Waynesville HS GREATLY out weighs any negative issues. I have asked my daughter many times if she regrets coming to this school and the answer is always "NO WAY"! Close Quote
