Summary
Miami Trace High School serves grades 9–12 in the Miami Trace Local district in Washington Court House, OH, with 747 students. It ranks 397th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26 (50th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranks 271st of 773 (65th percentile, 3 stars). That 50th percentile reflects a decline from the 70th–71st percentile with 4 stars in 2022–23 and 2023–24, then 59th percentile in 2024–25. Graduation remains strong at 96.6%, between 95.7% and 98.5% over the last five reported years, and chronic absenteeism improved from 26.1% in 2021–22 to 16.4% in 2025–26, though it is still above the district's 13.1%.
Locally, Miami Trace is the largest school in its comparison group — Westfall High School has 407 students, McClain High School 496, and Washington High School 522 — and it has the highest student-teacher ratio at 23.3, with mid-pack spending of $10,269 per student in 2018–19. Its 96.6% graduation rate beats Washington High School (93.2%), Westfall High School (88.5%), Fairfield Local High School (92.5%), and East Clinton High School (95.6%), and its 16.4% absenteeism is third-lowest nearby, behind McClain High School (13.5%) and Westfall High School (15.1%). On 2025–26 state tests it topped the state average in five of six End-of-Course subjects — American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I — with American Government the exception at 65.5% proficient vs. 71.6% statewide.
Subgroup results are uneven. Effectiveness for Gifted and Talented students has been in the 74th–83rd percentile over three years, and effectiveness for Low Socio Economic Status students reached the 75th percentile in 2025–26 and 77th in 2023–24, while Special Education effectiveness was 35th percentile in 2025–26 after a very low 10th percentile in 2024–25. Two subjects explain much of the recent slide: American Government fell from 77.2% to 65.5%, and English II dropped from 79.4% in 2023–24 to 69.5%. Algebra I (63.6%) is above the state but about 9.9 points below the district's 73.5%. Overall, Miami Trace is a mid-to-upper-middle performer locally: strong in graduation, attendance, science, history, and geometry, competitive in Algebra I, but held back by government scores and a recent rank decline.
