Huron City Schools

Huron City Schools is a small Ohio district serving about 1,162 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — and it ranks 83rd of 773 Ohio districts, placing it in the 89th percentile with a 4-star rating. Every listed test score at all three schools sits above the corresponding state average, so families moving into this area can expect consistently strong academics at every grade level.

Huron High School is the district's latest standout: 5 stars, 90th percentile (77th of 795 high schools), a 100% graduation rate, and test averages that rose about 4.4 points year over year, led by a large gain in Geometry. Its caution is attendance — chronic absenteeism of 13.9%, the highest of the three schools and above the district's 9.8%. Woodlands Elementary School is the largest school at 523 students and posts the highest raw proficiency, including 97% in 5th Grade Science, with the lowest absenteeism at 5.6% — despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate (36.33%) and the largest classes (19.3 students per teacher). McCormick Middle School is a school of contrasts: perfect 100% proficiency in both Geometry and Algebra I End-of-Course tests, but a lower core-grade average (71.8%) that slipped from 74.7%, with 7th Grade Math at 56.9% and Science 8 falling from 88.2% to 75.8%.

For parents, the key comparison is this: the elementary and high schools are performing at a very high level, while the middle school succeeds brilliantly with advanced math students but is less consistent across core middle-grade subjects — making middle-grade math and science the district's clearest area for growth.
