Summary:
Old Fort High School is the only high school listed in the Old Fort Local district, serving Tiffin, Ohio. It is a small building with 264 students in grades 7–12, so its results combine middle-grade and high-school assessments. The district is ranked 205 of 773 in Ohio, placing it in the 73rd percentile with 4 stars.
This school stands out on its own metrics. Its current school rank is 195 of 795 — the 75th percentile with 4 stars for 2025–2026, up from 319 of 855, the 63rd percentile with 3 stars the year before. That is a 124-position improvement and a 12-point percentile gain, and the current rank is stronger than either of the two prior years. The graduation rate is 100%, matching the district's reported 100%. In 2025–2026, the school exceeded the state in all 11 listed Ohio State Tests, averaging roughly 75.4% proficiency against a state average of about 60.2%. Strongest results include American History at 90.9% (state 73.2%), Science 8th Grade at 83.3% (state 61.2%), and English II at 82.5% (state 62.7%). American History and Geometry both moved from below state in 2024–2025 to above state, with gains of 23.4 and 20.4 points.
Two things are worth monitoring. Chronic absenteeism is 17.2% at the school versus 11.0% for the district — a 6.2-point gap — so strong completion and test outcomes are coexisting with elevated absenteeism. Also, with 264 students across six grades, grade-level percentages rest on small numbers of students, so large year-over-year swings may partly reflect cohort size. Some scores declined year over year (American Government, Mathematics 7th Grade, ELA 8th Grade) but remain above state. Contextually, free/reduced lunch is 35.98% and the student-teacher ratio is 12.8; per-student spending of $10,376 dates from 2018–2019 and is historical context only.
