The school boasts impressive test scores, with over 80% proficiency in math and English language arts across multiple grade levels, as well as a low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.9%. In contrast, Arcadia Middle School has a more uneven performance, with some strong results in math and English language arts but lower scores in science and Algebra I, potentially due to its high student-teacher ratio of 37.
Arcadia High School also performs well, ranking in the top 20% of Ohio high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school achieved a 100% four-year graduation rate in the 2024-2025 school year and demonstrated strong performance on end-of-course exams, with over 80% proficiency in American Government, American History, and Biology. The differences in per-student spending across the schools may reflect efforts to allocate resources to address the significant economic needs of the student population, but the impact on academic performance is unclear.
