Summary:
Zip code 43560 in Sylvania, Ohio is served by two public high schools — Sylvania Northview High School and Sylvania Southview High School — both operated by Sylvania Schools, both serving grades 9–12, and together enrolling 2,422 students. Both sit in the top fifth of Ohio high schools and have held 4 stars in each of the last three years, so families here are choosing between two strong, closely matched campuses rather than one standout and one weak alternative.
Northview is currently the higher-ranked of the two at 137th of 795 Ohio high schools (83rd percentile), with the stronger graduation rate (95.7%) and lower poverty measure (28.6% free/reduced lunch). Southview ranks 149th of 795 (81st percentile) and is the momentum story: it jumped from 198th the prior year, the largest improvement in this data, while carrying higher poverty (32.57%) and essentially identical per-student spending ($10,341 vs. $10,468). Test results show how even they have become — in 2025‑26 the two split the six End-of-Course subjects exactly 3–3, after Northview won five of six the year before. Every subject at both schools beats the state average, most by 15–22 points. Northview's best score is American Government at 91.7%; Southview leads in American History (89.7%), Biology (88.8%), and English II (81.3%).
Two shared priorities stand out. Chronic absenteeism is near 23% at both high schools — roughly one in four to five students — well above the district's 15.2%, even as graduation rates hold near 95%. And math is the clear weak spot: Geometry is the lowest subject at both schools and across the district, with Southview's Geometry (51.1) actually falling below its own district average. Note also that spending figures date to 2018‑19 and cannot be tied to current results.
