Summary

Wapakoneta High School is a grades 9–12 comprehensive high school serving 804 students in the Wapakoneta City district in Auglaize County, Ohio, making it the largest traditional high school among the nearby comparison schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 320th of 795 Ohio high schools, placing it at the 60th percentile with 3 stars; the district ranked 326th of 773 districts, at the 58th percentile. The school's ranking history is fairly stable, generally sitting between the 54th and 62nd percentile over the past decade, with a peak at the 71st percentile in 2020–2021, and a slight upward trend in recent years.

Wapakoneta's academic strengths are in social studies, biology, and English. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates beat the state in American Government (85.6% vs. 71.6%), American History (82.3% vs. 73.2%), Biology (79.3% vs. 67.0%), and English II (72.1% vs. 62.7%), and History and Biology have improved over the last few years. Math is the clear weak spot: Algebra I was 55.3%, below the state's 61.6% and below state in each recent year, while Geometry was 45.4%, only slightly above the state's 43.3%. The graduation rate is a solid 96.1%, up from 93.1% in 2021–2022, though several nearby districts report 100%. The biggest concern is chronic absenteeism at 25.1%, compared with 15.4% for the district and far above Botkins High School (6.7%) and Waynesfield-Goshen Local High School (12.0%), suggesting a high-school-specific attendance challenge. Its student-teacher ratio of 21.3 is the highest in the comparison group, though it has improved from 25.9 in 2022–2023.

Locally, Wapakoneta outperforms St Marys Memorial High School in most subjects and is mixed against Perry High School, but trails New Knoxville High School, Shawnee High School, and Botkins High School in nearly every tested subject, and Spencerville High School in several. Low-income students rank at the 56th percentile, close to the school's overall 60th, but special education students dropped to the 46th percentile (2 stars), and male performance has declined while female performance improved. Note that some nearby schools include middle grades, which affects math comparisons.

What people are saying

DO NOT send your child to Wapakoneta High School. In the past few years I have seen the exposing of students who go/did go there being extremely racist & basically being a hate group of their own. Sure kids make mistakes & can grow from mistakes BUT a child will NOT grow from a mistake when disciplinary actions are not taken to show how & why their actions were a mistake. No matter what your political stance is at no time should that make you feel obligated to make someone feel unwelcome, suicidal, embarrassed, etc. of who they are or associate with, As long as it does not harm you or cause a threat it’s easy to go on about your day while still believing in what you choose.
