Summary

Lucas High School is a small public school in Lucas, OH, serving grades 8–12 with 140 students as part of the Lucas Local district. It is the smallest among the nearby high schools in the comparison list. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 266 of 795 schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), up from 333 of 855 (61st percentile) in 2024–2025 but below its 2023–2024 result of 246 of 864 (72nd percentile, 4 stars). The district ranked 213 of 773 districts (72nd percentile, 4 stars).

Academically, 2025–2026 was a strong year: Lucas High School exceeded the state in all nine listed test areas. English II was a standout at 84.2% proficient versus 62.7% statewide, the highest among nearby traditional high schools. Biology was 83.8% versus 67% state, and 8th Grade Science was 81.1% versus 61.2% state. Math and social studies were more mixed. The school was above state in Algebra I, Geometry, American Government, and American History, but it trailed peers such as Lexington High School in Government, History, Biology, Geometry, and Algebra I; Hillsdale 7-12 and Loudonville High School also outperformed Lucas in Algebra I. Graduation rates are high: 96.9% in 2025–2026.

The main concern is chronic absenteeism. The school’s 19.6% rate in 2025–2026 is more than double the Lucas Local district rate of 9.1%, though it improved from 26.2% in 2024–2025. It is mid-pack among nearby high schools—better than Madison High School and Mansfield Senior High School, but worse than Hillsdale 7-12, Ashland High School, Lexington High School, and Loudonville High School. A bright spot is low-SES student performance: the school ranked 86 of 761 schools (89th percentile, 4 stars) for low socio-economic status students in 2025–2026, up from 57th percentile. Because cohorts are very small, year-to-year swings should be read cautiously.
