About Schools in Ravenna, Ohio
Ravenna's public school system offers parents 10 ranked schools spanning preschool through high school. Across all ranked schools, the city averages 6.7 out of 10 — and half of those schools clear the 7-point mark. That means five of ten schools score 7 or above, giving families real options at the stronger end of the city's range.
At the top of the rankings, Willyard Elementary School scores 7.9 out of 10 — the highest mark among Ravenna's public schools. Southeast Primary Elementary School follows at 7.6, making elementary-level options one of the city's clearest strengths. Two of the top four schools in Ravenna serve younger students, and both land well above the city average of 6.7.
Secondary options show some differentiation. Maplewood Career Center Building earns a 7.7, the second-highest score in the city and the stronger of the two high school-level entries. Southeast High School scores 7.1 — above the city average, and the more conventional of the two paths for families with older students. The 0.6-point gap between them is modest but real, and worth weighing as children reach secondary grades.
For parents doing early comparisons, the key takeaways are straightforward. Ravenna's top tier performs well — 50% of ranked schools score 7 or higher, and the leading school, Willyard Elementary, approaches 8 out of 10. The city average of 6.7 reflects some spread in the lower half of the rankings, so individual school scores carry more signal here than the headline figure. Families entering the elementary years have particularly strong options. At the high school level, two above-average schools offer different focuses. Filter by grade level and compare scores directly to narrow the field.
