Summary

Marion Local High School is a public school in Maria Stein, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 306 students in a small rural community surrounded by an unusually deep cluster of high-performing schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked #2 of 795 Ohio high schools, and its Marion Local district ranked #1 of 773 districts statewide, ahead of Fort Loramie Local (#4), Minster Local (#5), and St Henry Consolidated Local (#16). Its rank has stayed near the top for years, never falling below the 94th percentile in the years shown.

Academically, results are near the ceiling across the board. In 2025–2026, every reported End-of-Course test had a proficiency rate of at least 96.4%: American Government 100%, American History 98.2%, English II 98.2%, Geometry 98.2%, Algebra I 97.4%, and Biology 96.4%. Geometry (98.2% versus 43.3% statewide) and English II (98.2% versus 62.7%) are especially far above state averages. Graduation rates were 100% in each of the last three reported years, and chronic absenteeism was just 3.8% in 2025–2026, ranging between 2.1% and 4.7% over five years.

Compared with neighbors, Marion stands out for breadth rather than a single subject. Fort Loramie Junior-Senior High School beats it in Algebra I and Biology, and Russia High School, Minster Junior/Senior High School, and St Henry High School edge it in American History, but none match its consistency across all six subjects. Its 3.8% absenteeism is below most nearby schools, including New Bremen High School (4.9%), Coldwater High School (9.2%), and Celina High School (19.9%); only Fort Loramie (2.4%) and Russia (3.4%) were lower. Marion's free/reduced lunch rate (5.23%) is the lowest among reporting neighbors, while its 20.4 student-teacher ratio is higher than most and its 2018–2019 per-student spending ($9,481) is lower than several — strong results without small classes or high spending. It also ranked #2 in Ohio for special education students in 2024–2025.
