About Bay High School
Bay High School earns a composite score of 9.3/10 — an Exceptional rating — built on a 9.6 academic score and a 9.1 growth score. That combination ranks Bay High third among Ohio's 886 public high schools and 13th out of 3,440 public schools statewide. It outperforms 100% of Ohio public schools — a result that makes this one of the clearest standouts in a large state system.
For families comparing secondary options, those numbers offer a concrete benchmark. The school serves 759 students in grades 9 through 12 at a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio. Bay Village is a small city, and Bay High — a regular public school — ranks first among the four schools in the area.
Academic achievement and student growth both push into the top tier independently. The 9.6 academic score reflects strong proficiency results on state assessments. The 9.1 growth score measures year-over-year student progress, capturing how well the school advances students from their individual starting points — not just how many arrive already ahead.
Together, these scores explain why Bay High lands in the top 1% of Ohio's public high school field.
