Summary:
Spencerville, Ohio is served by three public schools in the Spencerville Local district: Spencerville Elementary School (grades K–4, 336 students), Spencerville Middle School (grades 5–8, 315 students), and Spencerville High School (grades 9–12, 335 students), totaling 986 students. All three sit at the same address, 2500 Wisher Dr. The district ranks 128th of 773 Ohio districts — the 83rd percentile — with 4 stars.
Spencerville Middle School is the district's most consistent performer, holding the 85th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, with test scores well above state averages in nearly every math and ELA grade and Algebra I at 100% for two straight years. Spencerville Elementary School also earns 4 stars (87th percentile) and posts high proficiency — 4th grade math at 96.8% and 4th grade ELA at 88.9% — even though its reported free/reduced lunch rate is 99.11%, indicating near-universal economic disadvantage; its free/reduced lunch data are not available for the other two schools. Its chronic absenteeism is the district's lowest at 6.1%, and its student-teacher ratio is the lowest at 16.3.
Spencerville High School is improving but trails its peers: 69th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, up from 59th percentile, with a 100% graduation rate and End-of-Course scores mostly above state averages. Its Algebra I result of 67.9% sits about 10.6 points below the district average of 78.5%, a gap that also appeared in 2024–2025, and its chronic absenteeism of 13.4% is the district's highest. Notably, attendance worsens steadily across grade levels — 6.1% elementary, 9.5% middle, 13.4% high — even as the middle school carries the highest student-teacher ratio at 21.0 and still produces the strongest outcomes. Per-student spending is highest at the high school ($10,980) but that figure is from 2018–2019 and may be dated.
