Summary:
Northmor Local in Ohio serves about 991 students across two schools: Northmor Elementary School (grades PK–6, enrollment 541) and Northmor High School (grades 7–12, enrollment 450), both located at 7819 State Route 19 in Galion. There is no separately listed middle school, so the middle grades sit inside the high school building. The district overall ranks 194 of 773 statewide, in the 75th percentile with 4 stars.
Northmor High School is the stronger of the two, ranking 125 of 795 (84th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 and improving its rank each year, with a 100.0% graduation rate.

The exception is 7th grade mathematics, at 44.6 versus 48.6 statewide — the clearest academic concern, and down from 59.1 the prior year. Chronic absenteeism is 22.7%, above the district rate of 17.9%.
Northmor Elementary School ranks 587 of 1560 (62nd percentile, 3 stars) and has climbed steadily.
