Summary

Danbury High School is a small public high school in Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with about 172 students as part of the Danbury Local district. It ranks 86th out of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (89th percentile, 4 stars) — its best showing in the past decade — while the district ranks 60th of 773 (92nd percentile, 5 stars).

Danbury sits near the top of its nearby peer group. Only Huron High School ranks higher overall (77th, 5 stars). Bellevue High School (243rd), Port Clinton High School (265th), Edison High School (281st), Perkins High School (286th) and Margaretta High School (294th) trail, while Sandusky High School (690th) and Townsend Community School rank far lower. Danbury has posted 100% graduation for three consecutive years, tying Huron for best locally, and chronic absenteeism has dropped from 26.1% to 13.5% — second-best among nearby conventional high schools behind Bellevue (6.3%). Test scores beat state averages in every End-of-Course subject, and Danbury leads the local group in American Government, American History and English II.

Two things stand out for families. Reported free/reduced lunch eligibility is extraordinarily high — 98.26% in 2024–25 — yet the school's low-income subgroup ranked 10th out of 761 schools in 2025–26 (99th percentile, 5 stars), a standout result. The clear academic weak spot is Geometry: 51.4% proficiency, versus 79.4% in Algebra I and 86.8%–94.6% in other subjects, and below Huron, Perkins and Edison. Class sizes are the smallest locally (12 students per teacher), and per-student spending was $16,571 in 2018–19, well above most neighbors.
