Summary:
Lake Local has just one high school in this list: Lake High School in Millbury, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 444 students. Because there is only one school in scope, there are no cross-school comparisons to make; the most useful approach is to read the school's results against state averages and against its own prior years. The district is ranked 424 of 773 Ohio districts (45th percentile, 2 stars), while the school's own SchoolDigger rank slipped from 384 of 864 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 523 of 795 (34th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026.
English II is the clearest bright spot: it is the only subject above the state in both years, at 74.8% proficient in 2024–2025 versus the state's 60.4%, and 69.8% in 2025–2026 versus 62.7% — a narrowing advantage of +14.4 points down to +7.1 points. Algebra I improved the most, jumping +12.4 points to 67.0% and moving above the state (61.6%), though it sits 7.3 points below the district's 74.3%. The persistent gaps are Geometry, the lowest subject both years (34.4% in 2025–2026 vs. 43.3% state), and Biology, below the state both years at 59.3% vs. 67.0%. Social studies saw the sharpest declines: American Government fell 12.6 points to 69.3% and American History fell 13.3 points to 64.0%, both dropping from above the state to below it.
Other context matters for families. The graduation rate is a strong 94.0%, matching the district. Chronic absenteeism, however, is 21.4% at the school versus 17.5% districtwide — more than one in five students — which is a meaningful risk factor for achievement and graduation. Free/reduced lunch is 88.96%, indicating high economic need, and the student-teacher ratio is 17:1. Spending per student is listed at $11,208, but that figure dates to 2018–2019 and is quite dated relative to the other metrics. Overall, the school pairs a strong graduation rate and a durable English II advantage with declining rank, large recent social studies drops, and ongoing Geometry and Biology weaknesses.
