Summary

Elida High School is a grades 9–12 school serving 546 students in the Elida Local district in Elida, Ohio, a small community in the Lima area of northwest Ohio. In 2025–26, Elida High School ranked 287 of 795 Ohio high schools — the 64th percentile, or 3 stars — placing it slightly above its district's 58th percentile but still in the middle tier statewide. That marks a slide from 2023–24, when the school reached the 84th percentile with 4 stars, a 20-point percentile decline over two years and its first return to 3 stars since 2016–17.

Completion and attendance are bright spots: graduation rose to 91.3% and chronic absenteeism fell to 21.1%, both the best in the five-year window shown. Test scores are above state averages in all six End-of-Course subjects, with a six-subject average of about 71.6 versus roughly 63.2 statewide. Locally, though, Shawnee High School, Fort Jennings High School, Bath High School, and Spencerville High School generally score higher. Geometry is the clearest red flag — proficiency fell from 62.1 to 45.3, dropping from 19.3 points above the state to just 2.0 points above, and now trailing those same neighbors. Algebra I (69.5) also lags the district figure of 79.4 and several nearby peers.

Students from low-income families remain a relative strength: the Low Socio Economic Status subgroup ranks at the 79th percentile with 4 stars, above the school's overall 64th percentile, while special education students rank near the middle at the 49th percentile. Most subgroups slipped over the past two years, though, suggesting a broad rather than isolated dip. Among nearby traditional high schools, Elida sits mid-pack — ahead of Jefferson High School on overall rank and test average, and far ahead of Lima Senior High School and West Central Learning Academy II, but behind Spencerville, Bath, Shawnee, and Fort Jennings on most academic and attendance measures.
