Summary:

High schools in Ottawa Township HSD 140 consist of one school, Ottawa Township High School, serving grades 9–12 with 1,223 students. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed: grade 9 English Language Arts (ELA) is above the state result, while several other grade-and-subject results fall short. The clearest academic concern is mathematics, where results are below state levels in all three tested grades, by 6 to 13 percentage points.

There is no school-to-school leader or trailer because Ottawa Township High School is the only school in the area. Its strongest current matched result is grade 9 ELA: 64% proficient, 2 points above the state’s 62%. Its largest shortfall is grade 10 science: 32% proficient, 16 points below the state’s 48%. Grade 9 science is nearly level with the state, just 0.4 percentage points lower, while grade 10 also trails in ELA by 6 points and math by 13 points.

Results improved overall compared with 2024–2025, but not across every grade. The average gap across nine matched results narrowed from 10 points below the state to 7 points below; grade 11 ACT scores rose in all three subjects, and grade 9 ELA and science gaps improved by 7 and 8 points. In contrast, grade 10 science and math gaps widened by 7 and 5 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile standing declined from 61 in 2023–2024 to 39 in 2025–2026; its listing also shows a rank of 551 out of 738, the 25th percentile, and one star. Graduation was nearly level with the state in 2025–2026 (90% versus 90%), but chronic absenteeism was higher (31% versus 24%). Context figures include a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in 2024–2025 and 34% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–2022.
