Summary

Upper Sandusky High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 with 546 students in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, and it is the largest of the nearby schools compared here. It belongs to the Upper Sandusky Exempted Village district, which ranks 110th of 773 Ohio districts (86th percentile, 4 stars), while the high school itself ranks 303rd of 795 (62nd percentile, 3 stars). After falling to the 42nd percentile in 2021–22, the school has climbed back to 62nd in 2025–26 — an improvement, but still below its 2018–19 peak of 71st percentile. Locally, the high school sits behind Mohawk High School (82nd percentile), Wynford High School (79th), and New Riegel High School (76th), so the district is stronger than the high school.

Academically, the school beats the state average in five of six End-of-Course subjects. Geometry is the standout at 59.8% proficiency versus 43.3% statewide — the highest among nearby schools with comparable data. Algebra I is the clear weak spot: 56.2%, below the state (61.6) and well below the district's 68.8, and behind Mohawk, Elgin High School, Wynford, New Riegel, and Carey High School. Classes are relatively large: the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 18.2, second highest nearby after Riverdale High School (21.4).

Chronic absenteeism has improved sharply, from 25.2% to 15.4% in one year and down from 32.3% in 2021–22, though still above the district's 10.2%. The 94.1% graduation rate is a relative outlier — lower than every nearby school with 2025–26 data, several reporting 100%. Subgroup results are uneven: Gifted and Talented students rank in the 86th percentile, a real strength, while low-income students (48th) and special education students (47th) fall below the state median. Free/reduced lunch eligibility has risen to 39.38% but remains lower than most nearby districts.
