They are currently the only two high schools in the Reynoldsburg City School District. Reynoldsburg holds some of the largest high school enrollment numbers in Central Ohio.

Campus description

In 2011, Reynoldsburg redesigned the high school system, using interest based "academies" for students to get a better learning experience. Reynoldsburg has two campuses of high schools, one on Livingston Ave, the other on Summit Road. BELL (Business, Education, Law and Leadership) and HS2 (Health and Human Services) academies are hosted at the Livingston Campus. eSTEM (Environmental Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and Encore (Arts, Communication, and Design) academies are hosted at the Summit Road location.

Reynoldsburg High School's current Livingston Campus building opened in 1961. It was built in four separate buildings, two held academic rooms (100's and 300's), one held the cafeteria (200's), and the fourth the gymnasium. In 1993 all four buildings were connected with academic rooms, a new library (400's), and with a second floor (500's) and a new entrance was built with an auditorium. In 1999 the second floor was extended over the cafeteria (500's), and a small hallway was added to the front of the school (90's).

The central gathering place of the school is the Raider Rock hallway which is referred to as just the "Raider Rock" by students. It gained its name by the large rock in the center of it with a Raider engraved into it. Other meeting places include the Information Center lobby and the DECA hallway which serves as the main student entrance to the school. The main entrance to the cafeteria is connected to the Raider Rock hallway, and contains the school DECA store.

The athletic wing holds the main gymnasium with 2,000 seats and the field house with three multi-use courts and a 1/10 mile track. It is also home to the weight room, wrestling room, and locker rooms. Because the school does not have a natatorium, the swim team has to rent a separate facility.

The Summit Campus of Reynoldsburg High School has a five star energy rating and uses geothermal heating. The Summit Campus has a new gymnasium for the basketball team, a new tennis court was constructed for the tennis team, and new softball field were built. The Summit campus also has a new auditorium which can hold up to 1,200 people.

The Summit Campus also features a green house on the roof, yurts outside of the building, and wetlands on the school property where students can learn first-hand.
