Summary

Swanton High School is a grades 9–12 public school at 601 N Main St in Swanton, a small town in Fulton County, northwest Ohio. It serves 308 students and is the only high school in the Swanton Local district. About half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $10,194 (2018–19, the most recent figure), and the student-teacher ratio is 15.1:1. That size places it alongside nearby Evergreen High School (302 students) and Liberty Center High School (306), and far below Anthony Wayne High School (1,360).

The school's clearest strength is getting students across the finish line: 97.0% graduate, up 7 points from five years earlier and higher than Wauseon High School, Sylvania Southview High School, and Springfield High School. In the humanities and sciences, results are comfortably above state averages — Biology 80.7%, American History 80.7%, American Government 77.3%, English II 72.6%. Chronic absenteeism, at 23.5%, has fallen 10 points since 2021–22, but it remains above the district's 15.1% and worse than Anthony Wayne (11.8%) and Liberty Center (12.7%).

The exception is mathematics. Geometry proficiency fell to 6.3% in 2025–26, roughly 37 points below the state's 43.3%, while Algebra I sits at 44.4% against 61.6% statewide. Those results helped push the school to the 43rd percentile (2 stars) — its lowest rating in the visible record after a decade spent between the 52nd and 71st. Low-income students fell from the 78th to the 40th percentile year over year, and special education students dropped to the 26th percentile (1 star). The math results are the anomaly worth asking about; the rest of the school reads as steady.
