Ohio is a state located in the Midwestern United States and is bordered by Michigan to the north, Pennsylvania to the east, West Virginia to the south, and Indiana to the west. Ohio has a population of approximately 11.7 million people and is divided into 88 counties. Each county has its own governing body responsible for local government services such as law enforcement public health services and public works departments.
The state of Ohio has 610 school districts which serve over 1.7 million students in grades K-12 across more than 3,000 schools. These school districts are organized along county lines with each district providing educational services for students within their boundaries. The largest school district in Ohio is Cleveland Metropolitan School District which serves over 51,000 students while the smallest district covers only 1 school with fewer than 50 students enrolled. Each district is governed by an elected board of education responsible for setting policies on curriculum standards and budgeting for educational services.
In addition to public schools there are also several charter schools which allow parents to choose an alternative form of education for their children outside the traditional public school system. These charter schools must follow certain regulations set forth by the state but otherwise operate independently from local school districts with their own board of directors overseeing operations. Finally there are several private schools throughout Ohio that provide K-12 education outside of the public system although they may be subject to certain regulations set forth by state or local governments.
There are many public and private high schools in the state of Ohio. It is rather difficult for you to choose one that fits you most. In order for you to better evaluate your choice, we have ranked these high schools based on latest SAT/ACT scores, graduation rates, and state test scores from the Ohio Department of Education. See below for top 48 high schools throughout the state of Ohio.
