Summary

Willard High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in the small city of Willard, Ohio, with 319 students, and it is part of the Willard City district. For 2025–26 the school ranked 455th of 795 Ohio high schools (43rd percentile, 2 stars), a clear step up from 572nd of 855 (33rd percentile) the year before, though the district itself ranks 458th of 773 statewide. Its graduation rate of 95.8% is a genuine strength, up from 84.7% in 2021–22, and chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply from 36.7% to 20.0% over the same span.

Academically, Willard High School scored above the state in five of six End-of-Course subjects in 2025–26: American History (78.1 vs. 73.2 state), American Government (72.0 vs. 71.6), Biology (70.1 vs. 67.0), English II (64.3 vs. 62.7) and Geometry (52.0 vs. 43.3). Algebra I is the exception and the school's clearest weak spot: 51.4% versus 61.6% statewide and 61.1% in its own district, with proficiency below state for several years running. Geometry's jump from 25.0% and English II's rise from 51.3% show recent progress is possible. Notably, the school's effectiveness rankings for low-income students (66th percentile) and English learners (59th percentile) exceed its overall 43rd percentile, while male students (36th) trail female students (52nd).

Compared with nearby schools, Willard sits in the middle: similar to Norwalk High School, Plymouth High School, and South Central High School, and ahead of Crestline High School, but behind the top local group of Seneca East High School, Shelby High School, Buckeye Central High School, Bellevue High School, and Monroeville High School. Its student-teacher ratio of 12.5 is favorable, and per-student spending was $12,009. Closing the Algebra I gap and continuing to reduce absenteeism look like the most direct routes to joining the top local schools.
