Celina City

Celina City is a 3-star Ohio district serving four schools: one elementary school (grades K–6), one middle school (grades 7–8), and two high schools (grades 7–12 and 11–12). The district ranks 300 of 773 districts, in the 61st percentile. Because the middle school and both high schools share overlapping grade spans, their enrollments (1,224; 348; 743; and 382 students) should not be added together as a unique student count.

Celina Middle School is the strongest performer: 72nd percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from 3 stars, with the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.0) and chronic absenteeism of 8.7%, below the district's 10.7%. Its 8th-grade science (78.3 vs. 61.2 state) and 7th- and 8th-grade math (63.5 and 67.3) are well above state. Celina Elementary School, the largest at 1,224 students, holds steady 3-star results, has the lowest absenteeism at 7.0%, and beats the state in every listed math grade (including 83.1 in 4th-grade math vs. 67.3), though 5th-grade ELA is 67.1 vs. 70.4 state. Celina High School graduates 97.5% of students but is the lowest ranked school (46th percentile, 2 stars), with absenteeism of 19.9% and a Geometry score that dropped from 59.0 to 33.7, below both district and state.

Tri Star Career Compact has no rank, test, graduation, or absenteeism data here, so it cannot be compared academically; its student-teacher ratio of 25.4 is the highest. Spending figures are from 2018–2019 and do not track outcomes simply — Celina Middle has the lowest reported per-pupil spending among the three schools with spending data yet the strongest results. The district's overall 3-star rating masks real differences between its schools.
