Summary:
Findlay, Ohio is home to 15 schools — 7 elementary, 3 middle, and 5 high schools — serving roughly 7,271 students across three districts: Findlay City, Liberty-Benton Local, and the single-school Findlay Digital Academy. Findlay City enrolls about 74% of the students, Liberty-Benton Local about 23%, and the digital academy the remainder.
Liberty-Benton Local is the clear academic standout, ranked 63rd of 773 Ohio districts (92nd percentile) with 5 stars. Its Liberty-Benton Middle School ranks 93rd percentile with 5 stars, while Liberty-Benton High School and Liberty-Benton Elementary School each reach 87th percentile and 4 stars. Findlay City sits mid-pack (51st percentile, 3 stars), with Chamberlin Hill Elementary School strongest among its tested elementaries and Donnell Middle School generally outperforming Glenwood Middle School. Findlay Digital Academy is the starkest outlier: 36.0% chronic absenteeism, 1 star in 2024-2025, and very low proficiency in every listed subject.
Absenteeism separates the two main districts sharply — Liberty-Benton schools average about 4.4% versus roughly 15.0% for Findlay City schools. Graduation rates are strong at Liberty-Benton High School (100.0%) and Findlay High School (96.1%). One curiosity: Findlay City middle schools post extremely high Algebra I proficiency (Glenwood 97.4%, Donnell 97.1%), yet Findlay High’s Algebra I is below both state and district rates — likely reflecting a select group testing early. Note that K-2 primaries such as Northview Primary School, Whittier Primary School, and Jefferson Primary School, plus Millstream Career Center and Liberty-Benton Eagle Academy, have limited or no test data — blanks mean “not available,” not poor performance.
