Oak Harbor Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Oak Harbor Intermediate School is a middle school in the lakeshore community of Oak Harbor, Ohio, serving 315 students in grades 4–6 as part of the Benton Carroll Salem Local district. Its ranking history is strong and has improved over the long term: it placed 114th of 1,017 Ohio schools in 2021–22, the 89th percentile with 4 stars, after ranking 65th of 1,037 in 2020–21 (94th percentile, 5 stars). Earlier years show the same upward arc, from the 65th percentile and 3 stars in 2011–12 to the 88th–96th percentile range in recent years.

In 2025–26, proficiency rates were above Ohio's state averages in every listed subject and grade. The biggest margins were 6th grade math (+22.6 points over the state), 5th grade science (+21.1) and 5th grade math (+20.7); the narrowest were 5th grade English language arts (+4.3) and 4th grade ELA (+6.6). Against nearby schools testing the same grades, Oak Harbor had the highest 5th grade science and math proficiency in the group — ahead of Eisenhower Intermediate School, Lakota Middle School and Woodmore Middle School — and finished second in 6th grade math, just 0.8 points behind Eastwood Middle School. Its 6th grade ELA result ranked third, within 1.6 points of the top, behind Genoa Area Middle School and Eastwood. Fourth grade was comparatively less dominant but still comfortably above the state.

Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 6.4% in 2025–26, below the district's 8.6% and the lowest among the nearby schools listed, down sharply from 15.2% in 2021–22. Class sizes are favorable too — a 2024–25 student–teacher ratio of 12.6, the lowest among nearby schools, including Port Clinton Middle School at 13.2 — while per-student spending of $9,099 in 2018–19 was mid-to-low for the area. The school also ranks strongly for student subgroups, landing in the 87th–97th percentile for low-income students across the years provided. Keep in mind that the rank history here stops at 2021–22, that most nearby schools serve grades 6–8 or 5–8 so only grades 5 and 6 overlap, and that the spending figure is from 2018–19.
