Summary

Sidney High School is a public high school serving 810 students in grades 9-12 in Sidney, Ohio, which is part of the Sidney City School District. While the school has some areas of strength, it faces several academic challenges compared to nearby high schools.

Academically, Sidney High School's performance on state tests is generally below the state average, particularly in mathematics.
