Summary:
Port Clinton City contains a single high school, Port Clinton High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 448 students at 821 Jefferson St in Port Clinton. Because it is the only high school in Port Clinton City, it is the district's sole option at this level, and its results are essentially the district's high school results. Statewide, the school ranks 265th of 795 ranked Ohio high schools in 2025-26 — the 67th percentile, or a 3-star rating — placing it in the top third of the state. Its district ranks 279th of 773 Ohio districts.
Academically, the school outperforms the state in all six End-of-Course subjects. Algebra I is the standout: 90.1% proficient versus 61.6% statewide, a 28.5-point advantage, and it improved 9.7 points from the prior year. English II also improved, up 4.4 points to 77.5%. The concerns are in math and science. Geometry is the weakest subject at 50.9% proficient — still above the state's 43.3%, but the only subject where roughly half of tested students are not proficient — and it fell 8.5 points. Biology dropped 10.1 points to 69.2%. Across all six subjects the average fell from 75.4% to 73.8%, so while the school remains ahead of Ohio, its average margin over the state shrank from 13.4 points to 10.6.
The school posted a 99.2% graduation rate in 2025-26, meaning nearly every senior graduated. At the same time, 19.8% of students — about 1 in 5 — are chronically absent, a rate higher than the district's 14.5%. The student-teacher ratio is 17.2, implying roughly 26 teachers for 448 students. Two cautions for parents weighing this data: the ranking has slipped for three straight years (76th to 72nd to 67th percentile, 4 stars to 3 stars), and spending figures are only available for 2018-19, while free/reduced-lunch information is not reported, limiting how much context can be added to these results.
