Summary

Oak Harbor High School is a public school in Oak Harbor, Ohio, serving grades 7–12 in the Benton Carroll Salem Local district with 669 students. It is a consistently high-performing school: in 2025–2026 it ranked 91st out of 795 Ohio high schools—the 89th percentile, 4 stars—continuing a long run that includes 67th of 867 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) in 2022–2023 and 90th of 855 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025. Its graduation rate was 99.2% in 2025–2026, up from 96.5% the year before.

Academically, Oak Harbor exceeded Ohio proficiency rates in all 11 reported assessments in 2025–2026, often by wide margins: Geometry 73.5 vs. 43.3 statewide, 8th Grade Science 89.3 vs. 61.2, 7th Grade Mathematics 76.4 vs. 48.6, American History 92.7 vs. 73.2, English II 81.6 vs. 62.7, and Algebra I 80.7 vs. 61.6. Among nearby high schools it posted the top End-of-Course proficiency in American History, Biology, English II, and Geometry, and was second in American Government (84.4 vs. Genoa Area High School's 85.8) and Algebra I (80.7 vs. Port Clinton High School's 90.1). It outperformed Lake High School, Clay High School, Gibsonburg High School, Fremont Ross High School, and Woodmore High School across comparable subjects.

Results are strong across student groups: the low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked 57th out of 761 (93rd percentile, 5 stars) and special education ranked 63rd out of 575 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism fell to 13.1% from 17.9%, the second-lowest among nearby schools, though still above the district's 8.6%. Two items to watch: the student-teacher ratio of 18.3 is higher than several neighboring districts, and because the school serves grades 7–12, some comparisons with nearby 9–12 high schools are not exact.
