Summary

Indian Lake High School is a 9–12 public high school in Lewistown, OH, serving 441 students as part of the Indian Lake Local district in a rural area of western Ohio.

By the numbers, Indian Lake is a solid state-level performer with a more middling regional profile. It ranked 296th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–26 (63rd percentile, 3 stars), behind nearby Jackson Center High School, Botkins High School, Anna High School, West Liberty-Salem High School, and Fairlawn High School, but ahead of Benjamin Logan High School, Bellefontaine High School, and Riverside High School. The school exceeds state averages in American Government (80% vs. 71.6%), American History (84.4% vs. 73.2%), Biology (77% vs. 67%), English II (69.7% vs. 62.7%), and Algebra I (81.6% vs. 61.6%). Algebra I improved sharply from 41.3% the prior year. Geometry is the clear weak spot at 36.2%, below the state's 43.3% and most nearby schools, with only Riverside lower (20.4%). The graduation rate is strong at 98.3%, and chronic absenteeism has fallen from 27.1% to 16.5% over four years, though it remains above the district's 12.2% and behind Botkins (6.7%) and Anna (8.4%).

Two things stand out for parents. First, the school's effectiveness for Special Education Students rose to the 78th percentile (4 stars), while effectiveness for Gifted and Talented Students fell from the 93rd percentile in 2022–23 to the 51st percentile in 2025–26. Second, Indian Lake runs larger classes than most nearby districts (a 20.0 student–teacher ratio) with relatively low per-student spending ($10,398 in 2018–19), while free/reduced lunch participation climbed from 33.54% to 51.93% over two years — worth asking about when visiting.
