Summary

Lake High School is a 9–12 public high school in Millbury, Ohio, part of the Lake Local district, serving 444 students in a working-class community on the suburban-rural fringe. Statewide it ranks 523rd of 795 high schools — the 34th percentile, or 2 stars — while the district ranks 424th of 773. Its graduation rate is 94.0%, chronic absenteeism is 21.4%, the student/teacher ratio is 17:1, per-student spending was $11,208, and 88.96% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, up nearly 29 points in two years.

The school has lost ground over the past decade, peaking at the 76th percentile in 2018-2019 and falling to the 34th, landing in 2-star territory the last two years. Recent results dropped sharply in American History (−13.3 points) and American Government (−12.6 points), and Geometry remains the deepest weakness at 34.4% proficiency versus the state's 43.3%, never exceeding 49% in four reported years. English II is the standout strength at 69.8%, above the state's 62.7%. Nearby Genoa Area High School — similar in size and only a few miles away — scores higher in all six tested subjects, and Rossford High School, with even higher poverty, outperforms Lake in history, biology and government.

The most troubling signal is equity. In 2025-2026, special education students ranked in the 13th percentile statewide (503rd of 575), low-income students in the 27th, and male students in the 24th — each down from prior years. Chronic absenteeism has climbed to 21.4%, above the district's 17.5%, and the graduation rate has slipped from 98.3% to 94.0% over four years. With a diploma not yet reliably signaling grade-level math or science proficiency, the clearest priorities appear to be math instruction and support for the school's highest-need students — challenges that comparable nearby schools are meeting more successfully.
