Summary:
ZIP code 43016 in Dublin, Ohio contains two public high schools serving grades 9–12 — Dublin Jerome High School and Dublin Scioto High School — both part of the Dublin City School District, which ranks 145 of 773 districts statewide (81st percentile, 4 stars). Together the two schools enroll 3,512 students, with Jerome about 44% larger than Scioto, yet they occupy very different performance tiers despite sharing a district, a community, and the same state exams.
Dublin Jerome High School is one of Ohio's elite high schools. It ranked 26 of 795 schools (97th percentile) with 5 stars in 2025–2026, after ranks of 21 and 23 the two prior years — three straight years in the state's top 30. Its average proficiency across six tested subjects is 91.2%, exceeding the state in every subject by 22 to 36 points, and it beats its own district in all six. Its graduation rate is 98.7%, above the district's 97.0%. Chronic absenteeism is 18.5% — higher than the district's 15.1% but far below Scioto's.
Dublin Scioto High School is more typical statewide but has slipped: it ranked 343 of 795 (57th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, down from 245 (71st percentile, 4 stars). Its average proficiency is 69.3% — 21.9 points behind Jerome — and Geometry, at 33.5%, is its only below-state result (state: 43.3%). Graduation is 93.5%, below the district's 97.0%, and chronic absenteeism is 33.5%, more than double the district rate and 1.8 times Jerome's. Notably, per-student spending is nearly identical ($12,542 vs. $12,717), and Jerome actually has the larger student–teacher ratio (21.6 vs. 18.5).
