Saint John School is a private, Catholic K-12 school in Ashtabula, Ohio. Saint John previously was the local Catholic high school in Ashtabula County, but as part of restructuring and growth in mission, now includes all elementary and high school grades. It is a part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown. The school was initially known as Saint John High School, changed its name to Saints John and Paul High School, and has since reverted to its original name.
The school is a K-12 Youngstown Diocesan school accredited by the State of Ohio, through the Ohio Catholic Schools Accreditation Association. All teachers hold a current state license. While Roman Catholic in belief, all faiths and denominations are welcome. According to the school website, on the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT), taken by all schools in Ohio, the Saints John and Paul Class of 2011 ranked among the top 10% in the state of Ohio. St. John's consistently has the highest OGT scores in Ashtabula County. Saint John School is a member of the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) and the Sisters of Notre Dame Educational Association.
The curriculum includes advanced academic opportunities available through Ohio’s Post-Secondary Options Program at Kent State University, Ashtabula and Lakeland Community College. Advanced Placement (AP) high school classes are offered in English, Social Studies and Spanish.
In addition to its K-12 programs, Saint John also offers a Pre-Kindergarten program for 4-5 year olds. This 4-day program emphasizes support for student growth in a small group setting, and provides opportunities for parents and grandparents to volunteer monthly with class.
Saint John has undergone a building and expansion program and has added a gymnasium, dining hall, and football field to its premises. In addition, school enrollment has increased from 324 students in 2011 to 413 students in 2016.
