Summary:
Ashtabula Area City is a six-school Ohio district serving roughly 2,521 students: four elementary schools, one junior high (grades 7–8), and one high school (grades 9–12), with the elementary campuses covering kindergarten through grade 6. The district is rated 1 star and ranks 694th of 773 Ohio districts, at the 10th percentile, and every school carries that same 1-star rating. Most recent school rankings fall between the 12th and 22nd percentiles. Two elementary schools, Michigan Primary School and Ontario Primary School, have no recent state test results in this data, likely because they serve the youngest grades.
Lakeside Junior High School is the bright spot: its Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 68.4% in 2025–2026, above the district's 34.6% and the state's 61.6%, and it reached 83.3% the prior year. Its other results, however, lag well behind the state, including 8th-grade math at 20.8% versus 52.0% and 7th-grade math at 25.0% versus 48.6%.
Lakeside High School, the largest school with 810 students, is the biggest concern. Its chronic absenteeism is 49.4%, the highest in the district and well above the district's 41.0%, and its math and science scores are very low: Geometry 9.3%, Integrated Math I 0%, Algebra I 32.2%, and Biology 37.7%. Five other schools sit at or below the district absenteeism rate, with Superior Intermediate School and Ontario Primary lowest at 33.8%. Erie Intermediate School has the highest student-teacher ratio (26.6), followed by Lakeside High (23.1). Ontario Primary reports the highest per-student spending ($10,174 from 2018–2019), while Lakeside Junior High reports the lowest ($7,140). Free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable for all six schools, and no state graduation comparison is provided, so comparisons should stay focused on the years actually reported.
