Summary:
Zip code 44804 contains exactly one high school: Arcadia High School, part of the Arcadia Local district, serving grades 9–12 with 192 students. The Arcadia Local district is rated 4 stars, ranking 163 of 773 districts, or the 79th percentile. The school combines a 100.0% graduation rate in 2025–26 with a 10.1 student-teacher ratio and 98.44% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25 — a high-need, small-class setting where per-student spending was $12,501 in 2018–19.
Academically, Arcadia High School performs well above the state in most tested subjects. In 2025–26, American Government reached 93% (state: 71.6%), Biology 87.9% (state: 67%), English II 80.6% (state: 62.7%), and Algebra I 64.3% (state: 61.6%); American History came in at 73.2%, matching the state exactly. Overall end-of-course proficiency averaged 73.5% versus 63.2% statewide, though the school's advantage over the state narrowed from roughly +15.6 points to +10.3 points year over year. Its rank history has been volatile: 253 of 795 (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26, after 157 of 855 (82nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–25 and 271 of 864 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–24.
Two areas deserve attention. Math is the weakest spot: Geometry is the lowest subject at 41.9%, slightly below the state's 43.3% and down 5.8 points from 47.7%, while Algebra I at 64.3% trails the district's 77.3%. American History also fell sharply, from 86.1% to 73.2%, a 12.9-point drop. Chronic absenteeism is 10.9% at the school versus 6.9% in the district. With only 192 students, year-to-year score swings can be exaggerated, so trends are best read across multiple years.
