Summary:
ZIP code 45694 — Wheelersburg, in Scioto County, Ohio — is served by exactly one high school: Wheelersburg High School, a 457-student building covering grades 9–12, which is the only high school in Wheelersburg Local. Because there is just one high school in the district, school-level and district-level figures are nearly identical, so the numbers below describe the entire local picture.
The headline is a school on a clear three-year climb. Wheelersburg High ranks 168th of 795 ranked Ohio high schools — the 79th percentile, with 4 stars — after sitting at 261st and 293rd (3 stars) in the two prior years. Its district ranks 109th of 773 Ohio districts (86th percentile, 4 stars). Academically, students average 77.4% proficiency across six End-of-Course subjects against a state average of 63.2%, and the school beats the state in all six subjects. American History (94.4% vs. 73.2%) and English II (88.6% vs. 62.7%) are especially strong. Engagement looks strong too: a 100% graduation rate and 9.2% chronic absenteeism, better than the district's 11.1%. About 28.45% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
The clearest weak spot is mathematics, and Geometry in particular. Geometry proficiency is 46.3% — only about 3 points above the state and down 4.1 points from the year before, meaning more than half of test-takers are not proficient, in sharp contrast to American History. Algebra I, however, jumped 19.9 points, from 52.1% to 72.0%. In a school this size, each subject's test-takers number roughly 100–150, so single-year swings can reflect which students happened to be in the class. Families should also note the high student–teacher ratio of 26.8 and a per-student spending figure of $7,466 that dates to 2018–19 and no longer reflects current resources.
