Summary:
ZIP code 44149 covers Strongsville, Ohio, and contains exactly one public high school: Strongsville High School, which serves grades 9–12 to 1,842 students and is the only high school in the Strongsville City district. Because there are no neighboring high schools inside this ZIP, all comparisons below are against the district and the state of Ohio rather than against local peers.
By nearly every measure in the data, this is a strong school. In 2025–2026 it ranked 54th of 795 ranked Ohio high schools — the 93rd percentile, earning 5 stars — and its graduation rate was 98.9%, essentially at ceiling. Its average End-of-Course proficiency was about 86.1% across six subjects, against a state average of about 63.2%. Every subject cleared the state by roughly 18 to 33 points: American Government 92.4%, American History 91.6%, Biology 86.8%, English II 86.7%, Algebra I 83.5%, and Geometry 75.8%. The school's ranking has moved around — 46th, then 120th, then 54th — so year-to-year place changes blend real movement with a shrinking ranked pool; the percentile (95, 86, 93) tells the same up-down-up story. The school-wide proficiency average rose from about 81.3% to about 86.1% while the state moved only about 1.3 points, widening the school's advantage.
Two items are worth watching. First, chronic absenteeism was 21.0%, well above the district's 13.6% — though part of that gap reflects comparing a high school against a district figure that includes elementary and middle grades. Second, American History swung sharply, from 67.9% (then 3.3 points below the state) to 91.6% in one year, a 23.7-point change that likely reflects a different group of students taking the course rather than a steady trend. Algebra I and Geometry are the only subjects where the district figure exceeds the school's, which suggests additional district test-takers. Note also that per-student spending ($12,110) dates to 2018–2019 and is not current.
