Summary:
Huron, Ohio, a small city on Lake Erie, has four schools serving about 1,184 students: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. Three belong to Huron City Schools — Woodlands Elementary School, McCormick Middle School, and Huron High School. The fourth, Huron Sports Academy, is a separate district and a very small K–6 school with just 22 students. Huron City Schools ranks 83rd of 773 Ohio districts — the 89th percentile — and all three of its ranked schools sit in the top 20% statewide.
Huron High School is the academic flagship, ranking 77th of 795 high schools in 2025–26 (90th percentile, 5 stars), up from the 86th percentile the year before, with a 100.0% graduation rate. Its strongest results are in social studies and biology — American History 92.6% vs. state 73.2%, American Government 90.3% vs. 71.6%, Biology 89.6% vs. 67.0% — and Geometry climbed from 65.9% to 78.4%, far above the state's 43.3%. Woodlands Elementary School ranks 175th of 1,560 elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), with 5th-grade Science at 97% vs. state 62.7%, ELA 92.5% vs. 70.4%, and Math 85.3% vs. 59.1%. McCormick Middle School ranks 198th of 1,046 middle schools (81st percentile, 4 stars), posting 100% proficiency in Geometry and Algebra I — possibly small cohorts — and 6th-grade Math at 80.8% vs. state 56.2%.
Attendance is the main contrast. Woodlands Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 5.6%, below the district's 9.8%, while Huron High School (13.9%) and McCormick Middle School (11.8%) exceed it. McCormick's grade-level results are uneven: 7th-grade Math is its weakest reported area at 56.9%, and 8th-grade Science fell from 88.2% to 75.8%. Huron Sports Academy shows the highest free/reduced lunch rate (68.18%) and chronic absenteeism (25.5%) with a 3.1 student-teacher ratio, but has no rank or test data, so its academics cannot be compared.
