Summary:
ZIP code 45347 covers New Paris, Ohio, and contains just one high school: National Trail High School, part of the National Trail Local district. It serves grades 9–12 with 285 students, so families in this area have a single public high school option. Its small enrollment means year-to-year test-score changes can swing widely and should be read with caution.
National Trail High School reports a 100% graduation rate for 2025–2026, matching its district, and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 in 2024–2025, suggesting relatively small classes. Biology is a consistent strength, exceeding the state in both years, and American History and English II also beat state levels in 2025–2026, while American Government did so in 2024–2025. English II posted the biggest jump, rising 15.7 points to 64.3%, and Geometry gained 10.3 points to 38.2%. Across the six End-of-Course subjects, the school's average proficiency climbed about 4 points, narrowing its gap to the state from roughly 6 points to about 3.3 points.
Algebra I remains the clearest weakness: at 41.2% in 2025–2026, it trailed the district by 13.3 points and the state by 20.4 points, and Geometry also stayed below state. Chronic absenteeism is 22.9%, notably higher than the district's 16.1%. The school's own rank history shows 2 stars and the 36th percentile in the two most recent years, down from 3 stars and the 50th percentile in 2023–2024, even though the district-level summary is stronger at 3 stars and the 58th percentile. The free/reduced-lunch figure is blank and the spending figure dates to 2018–2019, so socioeconomic context is unavailable.
