Summary

Findlay High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Findlay, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 1,592 students — the only comprehensive high school in the Findlay City district and by far the largest school in its area. It ranks 331 of 795 schools statewide (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26, modestly above its own district's standing, and has sat between the 54th and 62nd percentile in eight of the past ten reported years, with a single 4-star year in 2022-23 (74th percentile) that it has not since matched.

Academically, the school is strong in reading, science, and social studies and noticeably weaker in math. In 2025-26, four of six End-of-Course subjects came in roughly 7–12 points above the state — American Government 80.6, American History 79.9, Biology 78.8, and English II 72.9 — while Geometry (52.6) and Algebra I (56.3) were lower. Algebra I is the standout concern: it is the only subject below the state, the only one well below the school's own district (56.3 vs. 65.3), and it has fallen three straight years (65.3, then 57.9, then 56.3) while the state climbed. Every other subject improved over the same period. Nearby Liberty-Benton High School (549 students, 2.4 miles away) outperforms Findlay in every subject, with the largest margins in Geometry (+21.5) and Algebra I (+15.9).

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest non-academic weakness: about 20–22% in each of the past four years, consistently 3–6 points above the district and far above nearby rural peers such as Van Buren High School (5.4%) and Liberty-Benton High School (6.4%), though well below North Baltimore High School (28.5%) and Findlay Digital Academy (36.0%). Graduation is a genuine strength — 93–96% over five years, at or above the district every year. Internally, results vary widely: the gifted and talented group sits at the 94th percentile while low-income students sit at the 33rd, a 61-point spread, and English language learners have slipped from the 90th percentile in 2020-21 to the 44th in 2025-26. Staffing has improved markedly (student/teacher ratio 22.6 to 17.4) on one of the leanest per-student budgets in the region.
