Summary

Northwood High School is a 7th–12th grade school serving 357 students in the Northwood Local Schools district, a small community near Toledo in northwest Ohio. In 2025–26 it ranked 369th of 795 Ohio high schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), placing it slightly above the state median and above its own district, which ranks 429th of 773 districts. That's a notable climb from the late 2010s, when it sat around the 36th–45th percentile, and above its 2024–25 result.

Graduation is the standout: 98.6% in 2025–26, the highest among nearby schools with reported data, including Rossford High School (95.9%), Toledo School For The Arts (95.3%), Clay High School (94.4%) and Lake High School (94.0%). Test scores are competitive too. American History proficiency is 84.6%, 11.4 points above the state and the best among nearby schools; Algebra I (68.9%) and Biology (74.1%) are also above state and near the top locally. Geometry (42.0%) is just under the state mark but the strongest among nearby schools, and 7th grade ELA (70.0%) is strong.

Two things stand out for families to watch. Chronic absenteeism is 24.9%, about 5.6 points above the district average — improved from 31.8% in 2022–23, but higher than Lake or Toledo School For The Arts. Eighth-grade ELA is the clear academic weak spot at 50.0%, 8.3 points below the state. The school also serves near-universal economic disadvantage (99.16% free/reduced lunch), the highest among nearby schools with data, and its student-teacher ratio has improved to 14.8. Effectiveness rankings for female, special education and low-income students are now above the state median, while male students rank lower (44th percentile), a gap worth asking about.
