Summary:
Port Clinton City serves roughly 1,400 students across four schools in this lakeside Ohio community: one high school for grades 9–12, one middle school for grades 6–8, and two elementaries covering PK–2 and 3–5. As a district, Port Clinton City ranks 279th of 773 Ohio districts — the 64th percentile, 3 stars — so it sits above the state midpoint, though results vary quite a bit from building to building. Two caveats for parents: free/reduced lunch figures are blank for all four schools, so poverty context isn't available, and per-student spending figures date to 2018–2019.
Port Clinton Middle School is the clearest bright spot, climbing from the 63rd to the 68th to the 74th percentile over three years and now holding 4 stars. Its Algebra I proficiency is 100% and 8th grade math is 80%, far above the state's 52%. It also has the district's lowest student-teacher ratio (13.2) and highest per-student spending ($11,016). Port Clinton High School posts a 99.2% graduation rate and beats the state in every reported End-of-Course subject, though its rank has slipped to the 67th percentile with 3 stars, and chronic absenteeism is the district's highest at 19.8%.
Bataan Memorial Intermediate School is the weakest ranked school, falling from the 56th to the 50th to the 47th percentile (2 stars). Its 5th grade math and science and 3rd grade results beat the state, but 4th grade ELA is 44.6% against 61.8% statewide — the lowest reported score in the district — and 4th grade math is also below state. It does have the lowest absenteeism at 9.7%. Bataan Memorial Primary School has no current test scores, only rankings from 2004–2007 that are too dated to judge, plus the highest student-teacher ratio (18.6) and lowest spending ($9,502). Overall, the middle and high schools form a strong secondary pipeline; the intermediate grades, especially 4th, look like the biggest opportunity.
