Summary:
ZIP code 43952 contains just one high school: Steubenville High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 706 students — roughly 176 per grade. Because it is the only high school in this ZIP, there are no local peers to compare it with; the meaningful benchmarks are Ohio statewide and the school's own year-over-year history. It is part of the Steubenville City district, which itself ranks 21st of 773 Ohio districts (97th percentile).
Steubenville High is a top performer statewide, ranked 40th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025-26 (95th percentile, 5 stars) — a sharp rise from 142nd of 855 the previous year. It beat the state proficiency rate in all 12 comparisons across six End-of-Course subjects and two years. In 2025-26, Geometry proficiency was 97.2% against a state rate of 43.3%; English II was 95.8%; Algebra I 95.5%; Biology 89.7%; American History 87.1%; and American Government 82.3%. Average proficiency across the six subjects climbed from 81.3% to 91.3%, with the largest gains coming in the two previously weakest areas — English II (up 24.1 points) and Biology (up 21.8 points). Social studies is the relative laggard, and American History was the only subject to lose ground (down 3.6 points) while the state improved.
Two other numbers matter for families. The graduation rate is 99.5%, essentially universal. But chronic absenteeism stands at 10.8%, higher than the district's 6.3% — meaning roughly 75–80 students are missing enough school to be flagged. Only one year of absenteeism data exists, and the district figure includes lower grades, so it is unclear whether this is a stable pattern or a one-year spike. Per-student spending is listed at $7,056, but that figure dates to 2018-19, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported, so economic context is unavailable.
