Summary

Bucyrus Secondary School is a public high school in Bucyrus, Ohio, serving 276 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bucyrus City School District, which is ranked 549 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bucyrus Secondary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools over the past decade, ranging from 425 to 624 out of 800-867 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, with a brief drop to a 1-star rating in 2015-2016 and 2021-2022. While the school's four-year graduation rate has steadily increased, reaching 89.6% in 2022-2023 and projected to reach 98.8% by 2024-2025, chronic absenteeism has been a concern, ranging from 24.4% to 37.2% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Upper Sandusky High School and River Valley High School, which have 4-star ratings and significantly higher proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts, Bucyrus Secondary School's performance lags behind. The school's gifted and talented students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 2nd out of 272 Ohio high schools in 2018-2019, but the school struggles with lower rankings for female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status students.
