Summary

Fostoria Junior/Senior High School is the grades 7–12 secondary campus of the Fostoria City district in Fostoria, Ohio, serving 725 students at 1001 Park Ave and forming the largest concentration of secondary students in its immediate region. By the numbers, it is also the lowest-ranked school in that region: 1 star, 670th of 795 Ohio schools (16th percentile) for 2025–26, and it has earned 1 star every year for a decade without ever rising above the 26th percentile.

Every nearby school outranks it — from Hopewell-Loudon Local High School at the 82nd percentile down to Vanlue High School at the 27th, still 11 percentile points above Fostoria. Proficiency trails the state in every subject, with the widest gaps in grade 7 math (21.4% vs. 48.6%) and grade 8 English (28.7% vs. 58.3%). Chronic absenteeism is 37.1%, the highest in the region and far above the 5.4% at Hopewell-Loudon and Van Buren High School. Encouragingly, absences have fallen from 45.7% in 2023–24, and the graduation rate has climbed from 78.4% to 93.9% in three years — now close to Columbian High School (92.5%).

There are real bright spots. Biology scores have risen four years running to 59.6%, the narrowest state gap of any subject; gifted and talented students ranked in the top quartile statewide (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–25; and the student-teacher ratio has improved from 20:1 to 14.2:1. The deepest needs sit in grades 7–8 and in special education services, where results rank near the bottom of the state. Parents should also note that the school spends $8,657 per student (2018–19 data), second-lowest among its neighbors.
