Best Public Schools in Sebring, OH

Sebring, Ohio, has two public schools serving students in the Sebring Local district: B L Miller Elementary School for grades K–6 with 213 students and Mckinley High School for grades 7–12 with 147 students, so there is no separate middle school and the high school includes both middle and high grades. The district is ranked 349 out of 773 districts, at the 55th percentile with 3 stars, and free/reduced-lunch information is blank for both schools, so economic-disadvantage context is unknown.

B L Miller is the higher-performing school by rank percentile, improving from the 49th to 56th to 64th percentile and reaching 3 stars in 2025–26; Mckinley High is at the 41st percentile with 2 stars. B L Miller’s chronic absenteeism is 11.6%, better than the district’s 17.4%, while Mckinley’s is 26.1%, more than twice the elementary rate and 8.7 points above the district. B L Miller is strong in grades 3–4: 3rd-grade ELA 84.6% vs state 63.4%, 4th-grade math 86.4% vs 67.3%, 3rd-grade math 80.8% vs 62.1%, and 4th-grade ELA 77.3% vs 61.8%. Its main weakness is 6th-grade ELA at 44.0%, 12.0 points below the state’s 56.0%, with 5th-grade math and science also below state. Mckinley has a 100.0% graduation rate and strong 8th-grade science 81.0% vs 61.2%, 8th-grade math 70.8% vs 52.0%, and Biology 84.6% vs 67.0%, but American Government is 51.6% vs 71.6% (20.0 points below) and Geometry is 35.7% vs 43.3%.

Both schools improved relative to state averages in 2025–26 in simple unweighted test averages: B L Miller moved from +4.4 points above state to +7.8 points above, and Mckinley moved from −4.4 points below state to +3.8 points above. Mckinley has a lower student-teacher ratio (8.5 vs 13.8) and slightly higher 2018–19 per-student spending ($11,776 vs $11,213) but a lower rank percentile, showing resources and class size alone do not determine outcomes. Because 7th and 8th grades are inside Mckinley High, its 7th-grade math result—43.5% vs state 48.6%—is part of the same school profile as its strong 8th-grade results.
