Mariemont High School was ranked #1 in the August 2014 edition of Cincy Magazine “For the first time ever, we’re ranking Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky’s high schools to figure out which schools are the best. Academics are important, but there’s so much more to what makes a school great. We gathered data such as the graduation rate, student/teacher ratio and the number of Advanced Placement classes to find out which schools really are at the top. We did not include schools, like ones in Indiana, that provided incomplete information.” Mariemont High School was ranked #1 because “Mariemont High School’s focus on academics pushed them to the top this year. The school has the eighth highest performance index score of the schools we rated (112.134), it’s tied for the highest average ACT score (26) and is the only school on our list to have 100 percent of its students score at or above proficient on the writing Ohio Graduation Test. Its most impressive number, however, is its successful AP program. Of the 129 Mariemont graduates who participated in an AP test in 2011-12, 95.3 percent earned a passing grade of 3 or higher. Mariemont is not all academics; their athletic department is impressive as well. The school’s boys’ varsity lacrosse team won the D2 state title, a recent graduate is playing for the Texas Rangers and another student qualified for the U.S. Open Golf Championships.” To view the full article, click here.
