Summary

Harvey High School is a 9–12 public high school in Painesville, Ohio, a city in Lake County, serving 847 students as part of Painesville City Local. The district ranked 645th of 773 Ohio districts in 2025–26 (1 star), and Harvey High School ranked 685th of 795 Ohio high schools (14th percentile, 1 star).

There are real bright spots. Harvey's graduation rate has climbed from 81.0% in 2021–22 to 96.9% in 2025–26, putting it roughly on par with top nearby schools such as Kirtland High School (100.0%), Mentor High School (97.2%), and Chardon High School (96.9%). Chronic absenteeism has also fallen, from 49.1% to 36.7%, though it remains higher than most neighbors — more than double Perry High School's 17.9%. Test results are the bigger concern: Harvey's End-of-Course proficiency is below the state in every subject. Mathematics is the weakest area, with Algebra I at 27.8% (state: 61.6%) and Geometry at 23.0% (state: 43.3%) — both at the bottom of the nearby range. Biology (44.6%) and American History (51.0%) also lag well behind the state and nearby schools.

Subgroup effectiveness ranks — how well the school serves specific student populations compared with other Ohio schools — are low across nearly every group, and many slipped from 2024–25 to 2025–26, pointing to broad, systemic challenges rather than isolated gaps. Harvey has stayed in the bottom 12–23% of Ohio high schools for a decade. The contrast with Riverside Junior/Senior High School, just 1.52 miles away, is striking: Riverside spends slightly more per student ($9,396 vs. $9,201) and has higher chronic absenteeism (38.4% vs. 36.7%), yet far outperforms Harvey — Algebra I 69.2% vs. 27.8%, Biology 84.1% vs. 44.6%. That suggests school-level instructional and support strategies, not resources alone, drive the difference. The most urgent priorities are mathematics and science instruction and continued work on chronic absenteeism.
