In 2025–2026 it ranked 220th out of 795 Ohio high schools — the 72nd percentile, with 4 stars. Its district ranked 243rd of 773 districts, the 69th percentile with 3 stars, so the school is currently rated a bit higher than its district overall. Recent rankings peaked at 149th of 867 (83rd percentile) in 2022–2023 and 148th of 855 (83rd percentile) in 2024–2025, dipped to 300th of 864 (65th percentile) in 2023–2024, then returned to 220th of 795 in 2025–2026.
Graduation rates are among the strongest nearby: 98.4% in 2025–2026, behind only Liberty Center High School (100.0%) and slightly above Perrysburg High School (98.3%), Maumee High School (98.1%), Anthony Wayne High School (97.5%), Eastwood I High School (97.3%), and Bowling Green High School (97.1%). Chronic absenteeism fell sharply, from 28.4% in 2023–2024 to 17.6% in 2024–2025 and 13.3% in 2025–2026, though it remains above the district's 10.0%. Proficiency was above the state average in all six reported subjects, led by American Government (86.1% vs 71.6% state), American History (86.5% vs 73.2%), and Biology (82.3% vs 67.0%). Algebra I is the clearest weak point at 69.4%, below the district's 75.5% and below nearby high performers including Eastwood, Liberty Center, Anthony Wayne, and Perrysburg.
About 56.96% of students received free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — far above Perrysburg (15.1%), Anthony Wayne (13.01%), Eastwood (22.69%), Bowling Green (31.41%), and Maumee (43.78%) — yet the school still posts above-state scores and very high graduation rates. Results are not evenly shared: low-income students ranked in the 52nd percentile and special education students in the 54th percentile in 2025–2026, below the school's overall 72nd percentile. Spending ($11,117 per student in 2018–2019) and the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio (19.7) are mid-pack. Treat comparisons with Penta Career Center - on campus and Ohio Digital Learning School cautiously, as they are a career center and a virtual school, not direct comprehensive-high-school peers.
