Summary:
Archbold, Ohio is home to four schools — one elementary, one middle, and two high schools — serving students from kindergarten through grade 12, with 2,019 students enrolled in total. Three of them belong to Archbold-Area Local, which enrolls 1,112 students and ranks 103 of 773 districts statewide (87th percentile, 4 stars). The fourth, Four County Career Center, is a separate career-center district serving grades 6–12 and is the largest school in the group, with 907 students.
Archbold Elementary School is the academic standout: 5 stars in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, percentile ranks of 92 and 90, and an unweighted proficiency average of about 85.2% versus roughly 63.7% statewide, including 4th grade math at 90.5% versus 67.3% state and 3rd grade ELA at 88.2% versus 63.4%. It also has the lowest reported chronic absenteeism (5.6%) and lowest per-student spending ($9,013) among the Archbold-Area schools, though 3rd grade math slipped from 90.2% to 77.4%. Archbold Middle School posts exceptional math results — Algebra I at 100% proficient in both years, versus state rates of 61.6% and 59.4% — but its rank percentile fell to 78 from 89, and it has the highest chronic absenteeism (8.8%) and student-teacher ratio (27.4). Archbold High School averages about 81.2% proficient versus 63.2% state, with Biology at 91.8%, American History at 90.7%, English II at 84.7%, Geometry lowest at 62.4%, and a 92.6% graduation rate.
Attendance is a middle-school-specific issue: the Archbold-Area Local district rate is 6.8%, with the elementary (5.6%) and high school (6.5%) below it. Four County Career Center serves the highest free/reduced-lunch population (56.12% versus roughly 29.6% to 35.0%) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.3), but no test, rank, graduation, or absenteeism data is available for it, so it should not be judged on missing information.
