Summary

St Marys Memorial High School is the lone high school in the St Marys City district, serving 669 students in grades 9–12 in the rural northwest Ohio community of Saint Marys, in Auglaize County.

On state rankings, the school is rated 2 stars and sits at the 37th percentile statewide (501st of 795) for 2025-2026 — below its own district, which is rated 3 stars at the 50th percentile. The most important trend is direction: St Marys Memorial has slipped from the 82nd percentile (4 stars) in 2017-2018 to 37th today, with five consecutive years of decline. Proficiency is close to state averages in most subjects, including American History (74.6% vs. 73.2% state) and English II (65.3% vs. 62.7%), but Algebra I is the clear weak spot at 54.1% versus 61.6% statewide — the lowest of the three large local high schools. Graduation is a genuine strength at 99.3%, essentially matching the area's elite districts, though chronic absenteeism rose to 15.7% in 2025-2026, above the district's 11.4% and the highest since 2021-2022.

For parents, the sharpest concern is how the school serves its low-income students, who ranked at the 19th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, down from the 41st percentile two years earlier. The comparison picture is striking: within about 12 miles, Marion Local High School (2nd in Ohio), Minster Junior/Senior High School, New Bremen High School, New Knoxville High School and Botkins High School all rank in the top 12% of the state, while the larger city schools — Celina High School (46th percentile) and Wapakoneta High School (60th) — cluster much closer to St Marys Memorial. Notably, those neighboring small districts vary widely in poverty and class size, so resources alone don't explain the gap.
