GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've attended Ontario since fourth grade and it has been a largely positive experience. I enjoyed the arts programs available but I found them to be lacking compared to other schools. The sporting department tends to take up most of the funding while the arts receive very little. This issue has been resolving recently but it was frustrating during my attendance. I enjoyed all of the academic opportunities available to students. I took many CCP classes and they have all helped me greatly.

I recommend Ontario high school to any parent because of how the teachers are so personable. Many schools are ranked well in Ohio, Ontario stands out because of our phenomenal Education and sports. The downfall of Ontario high school is the money driven attitude.

I have grandchildren that have attended Ontario and we have been there many times and have seen it first hand. The teachers and what has been taught to them is very satisfactory! Students are well behaved and seem to be very proud to be able to attend Ontario High School.

I love this place. I really don't get what the big hype about Lexington schools is about, I have a lot of really good friends from there and they seem MISERABLE. From what I hear the teachers there have absolutely no clue about what goes on at Lex behind the scenes (drugs, fights etc.) At Ontario I...

We moved from Lexington School district because we heard Ontario gave more one on one attention to the students and we found this to be true. Also they seemed to focus on getting students more involved.
