Summary

Perkins High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in the Perkins Local district in Sandusky, Ohio, with 539 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 286th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 64th percentile with 3 stars — placing it above the district's own standing (332nd of 773, 57th percentile, 3 stars). The recent path is uneven, though: Perkins reached the 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2024–2025 before slipping to its current 64th percentile and 3 stars, and across the past decade it has ranged from the 52nd to the 80th percentile.

Graduation is a clear strength. Perkins's 99.3% rate is essentially tied with nearby Bellevue High School (99.4%), Port Clinton High School (99.2%), Edison High School (99.0%), and Danbury High School and Huron High School (both 100%), and far ahead of Sandusky High School (91.3%). The school also scores above the state average in every End-of-Course subject. Geometry is its strongest relative result: 57.4% proficient, well above Ohio's 43.3% and second among nearby schools only to Huron's 78.4%. American Government (81.3%), American History (82.5%), and Biology (79.5%) are also solid.

Parents should weigh several concerns. Chronic absenteeism has climbed steadily to 20.6%, well above the district's 11.9% and higher than Huron, Danbury, Bellevue, and Edison. English II (68.1%) is above the state but behind most neighboring schools, and Algebra I (63.5%) trails both the district average (69.3%) and most nearby peers. Results for low-socioeconomic-status students fell to the 39th percentile in 2025–2026 after ranking in the low 80s the two prior years, while special education results improved to the 51st percentile and gifted students remained a strength. Perkins spends $12,582 per student, more than most neighbors, yet its student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is higher than theirs. Overall, Perkins is a solid, above-state school and a bright spot next to Sandusky High School, which is 1.6 miles away and ranks in the 13th percentile; returning to 4-star status would likely require gains in math and English, lower absenteeism, and steadier results across student groups.
