London City

London City, OH is a small district with just three schools serving about 2,139 students in total: London Elementary School (grades K–5, enrollment 1,011), London MIddle School (grades 6–8, enrollment 493), and London High School (grades 9–12, enrollment 635). There are no alternative schools in the district. The London City district overall is rated 2 stars and sits at the 39th percentile of Ohio districts, but that single rating hides real differences between the three schools.

London High School is clearly the strongest of the three. It holds 3 stars and a 54th percentile rank in 2025–26, has held that rating for three straight years, graduates 99.4% of its students, and scores above the state in every reported End-of-Course subject — Biology 81.6% vs 67.0% state, Geometry 53.8% vs 43.3%, American Government 78.4% vs 71.6%, Algebra I 65.8% vs 61.6%, and English II 63.3% vs 62.7%, with American History equal to the state at 73.2%. Algebra I also jumped 17.7 points in a year. The one caution is attendance: its chronic absenteeism of 25.9% is the highest of the three schools and above the district's 22.7%. London MIddle School is rated 2 stars at the 39th percentile. Its Algebra I End-of-Course result is 100% proficient two years running — far above state and district — but that is typically a small, advanced group, not the whole school. The broader picture shows weakness: 6th grade math is 35.9% vs 56.2% state and 6th grade ELA is 44.9% vs 56.0%.

London Elementary School has the largest enrollment, the lowest chronic absenteeism (20.7%), and a bright spot in 4th grade math at 82.0% vs 67.3% state. Its results are uneven elsewhere: 3rd grade math is 49.4% vs 62.1% and 3rd grade ELA is 48.9% vs 63.4%, while 5th grade ELA fell 16.7 points to 60.3%. The high school also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (17.1) and the middle school the highest (30.8), and free/reduced lunch is highest in the lower grades.
