Summary

Wauseon High School is a public high school serving 536 students in grades 9-12 in Wauseon, Ohio. The school is part of the Wauseon Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 305 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wauseon High School has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 97.9% in 2023-2024 to 92.8% in 2024-2025, though this is still above the state average. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.0% to 24.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school generally performs better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in subjects like American History, Biology, and Algebra I, but struggles in Geometry, where proficiency rates are below the state average. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking highly for Hispanic students but lower for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Compared to nearby schools, Tinora High School, Archbold High School, and Liberty Center High School outperform Wauseon High School, while Stryker High School and Fayette Junior/Senior High School rank lower. Wauseon High School has a strong program for Gifted and Talented students, but its spending per student ($9,319 in 2018-2019) is on the lower end compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to some of the performance challenges.
