Summary

North Adams High School is a public junior/senior high school in the rural Adams County community of Seaman, Ohio, serving grades 7–12 with 462 students. It is part of the Adams County Ohio Valley Local district, and it ranks 348 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (56th percentile, 3 stars) — above its district's rank of 439 of 773 (43rd percentile). Its history shows a rebound: it sat at the 69th percentile in 2015–2016, slipped into the 35th–44th percentile range in the late 2010s, and has climbed back to 56th–59th percentile over the past two years. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 97.7%, chronic absenteeism 18.9%, student-teacher ratio 17.1, and per-student spending $9,430.

Among nearby high schools with 2025–2026 rankings, North Adams places second, behind Peebles High School and just ahead of Eastern High School, and it is clearly stronger than same-district West Union High School. Its test scores are split: the school is above district and state averages in Biology (81.7), Algebra I (74.2), English II, American Government, American History, 8th grade math, and 8th grade ELA. The clearest gaps are 7th grade mathematics at 36.5 — below both district and state — plus 7th grade ELA and Geometry (35.4, above the district but below the state). Peebles posts stronger middle-school and Geometry results, while North Adams leads in Biology, English II, and Algebra I.

Subgroup results tell an important story: low-income students rank in the 80th percentile (4 stars) statewide, up sharply from the 44th percentile two years earlier — a standout strength. Special education students, however, fell from the 88th percentile in 2023–2024 to 21st and then 32nd, an area worth asking about. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 30.1% to 18.9%, better than the district but higher than Eastern High School, Manchester High School, and Whiteoak High School. Overall, North Adams is a solidly above-average school with a positive trajectory; the main opportunities are 7th grade math and ELA, Geometry, special education support, and attendance.
