CFHS Earns High Ranking

The “Daily Beast,” an online news source reaching 17 million readers a month, has ranked Chagrin Falls High School as one of the top high schools in the country.

Six indicators are used to rank public high schools in the United States, with graduation and college acceptance rates weighed most heavily. Other criteria include: college-level courses and exams, percentage of students with free or reduced lunch, as well as SAT and ACT scores – another mark of how well a school prepares students for college.

Chagrin Falls High School ranked 114th in the country. The high school made the “Top 25 in the Midwest” list with a rank of 15. It was the only school in the Cleveland area. The other schools on the top 25 list from Ohio were in Ottawa Hills, Dublin, Cincinnati and Upper Arlington.

“This recognition acknowledges the hard work of our teaching staff and students,” said Superintendent Robert Hunt. “This is all made possible by a community that supports a highly challenging academic program. Our program will continue to improve as we maximize the potential of our students by offering them a more personalized learning experience.”
