Students Reach Their Highest Potential

Wadsworth City Schools is a triple-A school district, emphasizing Academics, Arts, and Athletics, and has a total enrollment of approximately 4,300 students. The school district is comprised of eight school buildings, including five elementary schools, one intermediate school, one middle school, and one high school. The Grizzly Academy, a new offering for the 2023-2024 school year, serves students within the district who need an alternate setting that is better matched to their academic, social, and emotional development needs than can be provided in the traditional school setting. Students from the Grizzly Academy are located in classrooms within the Charles R. Parsons Administration Building.  

The high school and community center complex allows the school to share community space with the City of Wadsworth, Summa Wadsworth-Rittman Health System, and Wadsworth Public Library, enhancing recreational opportunities for all age groups and serving as a satellite hub for wellness and library services. The complex includes the academic wings for grades 9-12, a performing arts center, competition gym, field house, YMCA, doctor offices, senior center, WCTV studio, and library space.  This partnership allows cost savings through shared services.

The district offers a host of extracurricular activities in which students can participate, including sports, vocal and instrumental music, Drama Club, Academic Challenge, N.F.L. Speech and Debate, Chess Club, and Student Council, to name a few. There is also a before- and after-school child care program called Bear Cub Academy for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

Parents/Guardians are very active in the district with numerous booster clubs to support academics, sports, and band. PTO is the parent-teacher organization that supports the Wadsworth City School system by fostering a closer relationship between home and school.
