Lorain Preparatory High School

Schools in the Lorain Preparatory High School area consist of just one public school: Lorain Preparatory High School, a high school serving grades 9–12 in Lorain, Ohio, with 109 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.6. It is also its own district, Lorain Preparatory High School. Because there is only one school here, there are no local peer schools to compare against; the most useful comparisons are to Ohio statewide averages and, for two subjects, to the school's own prior year.

On rankings, the school sits at the bottom of the scale: a district rank of 773 of 773, a rank history of 794 of 795 for 2025–2026, 0 percentile, and 0 stars in both cases. Test proficiency is far below the state in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, American History was 22.6% proficient versus 73.2% statewide, and Biology was 10.7% versus 67.0%. In 2024–2025, English II was 13.8% versus 60.4%, Geometry 0.0% versus 42.8%, and Algebra I 2.9% versus 59.4%. Across all reported rows, the school averaged roughly 12.5% proficient compared with about 62.8% statewide.

Two subjects show a full two years of data, and in both the school slipped while Ohio improved: American History went from 24.0% to 22.6% as the state rose from 71.2% to 73.2%, and Biology fell from 13.8% to 10.7% as the state rose from 65.4% to 67.0%. Chronic absenteeism is 80.4% for 2025–2026 — about 8 in 10 students — and the graduation rate is 70.6%, or roughly 7 in 10 students. Free/reduced lunch data is blank, so economic context is unknown rather than 0%. The main structural bright spot is small size and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which could support targeted intervention, though small cohorts can make year-to-year percentages volatile.
