Summary
McComb Local Junior/Senior High School is a public combined junior/senior high school in McComb, OH, serving 282 students in grades 7–12 as part of the McComb Local district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 377th of 795 Ohio schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars), up from 551st of 855 (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, but still below its 2020–2022 levels of 70th–81st percentile and 4 stars. Graduation rates are a clear strength: 100% in 2025–2026, compared with 98.1% in 2024–2025 and 95.7% in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism is a challenge: 19.8% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 12.8% and higher than nearby Van Buren High School (5.4%), Liberty-Benton High School (6.4%), Cory-Rawson High School (8.3%), and Leipsic High School (14.9%), though close to Findlay High School (20.3%) and below North Baltimore High School (28.5%).
Test proficiency is mixed. Social studies and English II are relative strengths: American Government 84.5% proficient vs. 71.6% state, American History 84.8% vs. 73.2% state, English II 75% vs. 62.7% state, and Biology 71.7% vs. 67% state. Mathematics is the major academic weakness, especially Geometry: 33.3% proficient vs. 43.3% state and lower than every nearby school with comparable data. Algebra I is 50% vs. 61.6% state and below most nearby schools, tied with North Baltimore High School. Middle-grade results are also uneven; McComb generally trails Leipsic High School, Van Buren High School, and Liberty-Benton High School but performs better than Cory-Rawson High School in several subjects.
Resource context is mixed. McComb’s student-teacher ratio was 14.1 in 2024–2025, lower than most nearby schools except North Baltimore (9.4). Its available per-student spending figure is $7,372 from 2018–2019, lower than every listed nearby district, though this old figure is context only. With only 282 students in grades 7–12, small cohorts can drive large year-to-year swings—for example, English II moved from 50% in 2024–2025 to 75% in 2025–2026, and Biology from 51.7% to 71.7%. Subgroup effectiveness has also been uneven: low-SES students ranked 71st percentile in 2023–2024, then 28th in 2024–2025 and 35th in 2025–2026, while gifted and talented effectiveness declined from 78th percentile in 2021–2022 to 28th in 2023–2024. These are school-effectiveness signals, not commentary on students.
