Summary:
ZIP code 43557 covers Stryker, Ohio, a small community served by just two public schools: Stryker Elementary School (PK–6, 231 students) and Stryker High School (7–12, 141 students). Both belong to the Stryker Local district and share one campus at 400 S Defiance St, with no separate middle school — the high school also serves grades 7 and 8. Total enrollment is 372 students, and the district ranks 318th out of 773 Ohio districts, at the 59th percentile with 3 stars.
Stryker Elementary School is the standout for improvement. Its rank percentile climbed from 47 to 54 to 67 across recent years, with stars rising from 2 to 3, and in 2025–2026 it beat the state in nearly every tested grade and subject: 3rd grade ELA at 86.2% versus 63.4% for Ohio, 5th grade science at 80.8% versus 62.7%, and 5th grade math at 73.1% versus 59.1%. Only 4th grade ELA fell slightly short (59.1% versus 61.8%). Chronic absenteeism is just 6.3%, well below the district's 10.9%.
Stryker High School also sits at the 67th percentile with 3 stars and posts a 95.5% graduation rate. Its strengths are Biology (90.9% versus 67.0% statewide), English II (76.2%), American History (81.8%), Algebra I (70.0%), and 8th grade math (68.8%). Its weakness is middle-grade literacy and math: 8th grade ELA at 36.8% and 7th grade ELA at 50.0% trail the state by 21.5 and 12.7 points, with 7th grade math at 40.0%. Attendance is the other contrast — chronic absenteeism is 17.6% at the high school versus 6.3% at the elementary school, despite similar free/reduced lunch rates near 53–54%. Because cohorts are small, year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
