Summary

Spencerville High School is a public school serving about 335 students in grades 9–12 in the Spencerville Local district in Spencerville, Ohio, a small community in the northwest part of the state.

Where the school shines is outcomes. Its graduation rate was 100.0% in 2025–2026 and has stayed between 98.6% and 100.0% for five years — higher than every nearby school with a reported rate, including Wapakoneta High School, Elida High School, Jefferson High School, Shawnee High School, and Lima Senior High School. Chronic absenteeism fell from 27.3% in 2023–2024 to 13.4% in 2025–2026, better than most nearby schools though still above the district rate of 9.3%. Test scores beat Ohio's averages in all six End of Course subjects, with Geometry (63.6% vs. the state's 43.3%), Biology (80.5% vs. 67.0%), American History (84.3% vs. 73.2%), and English II (74.3% vs. 62.7%) standing out as particular strengths.

Two areas are worth watching. Algebra I proficiency of 67.9% is above the state but below the district's 78.5% and Shawnee High School's 86.5%, and American Government at 74.4% trails Wapakoneta High School, Elida High School, Jefferson, and Shawnee. The school's state rating slipped from 4 stars in 2023–2024 to 3 stars in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, even as its percentile improved to 69th. The Spencerville Local district ranks higher (83rd percentile, 4 stars) than the high school itself, which suggests the district's standing is lifted by performance beyond the high school alone. Note also that the student-teacher ratio was 19.7 in 2024–2025, higher than most nearby schools, and the available per-student spending figure ($10,980) dates back to 2018–2019.
