Summary:
ZIP code 43567 covers Wauseon, Ohio, and includes four public schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with a combined enrollment of 1,717 students. All four — Wauseon Primary School (PK–2), Wauseon Elementary School (3–5), Wauseon Middle School (6–8), and Wauseon High School (9–12) — belong to the Wauseon Exempted Village district, which ranks 234th of 773 Ohio districts (70th percentile) with a 4-star rating.
Wauseon High School is the largest and strongest overall: 526 students, a 2025–2026 rank of 223rd of 795 (72nd percentile, 4 stars), up from 316th of 855 with 3 stars the year before, and a 94.6% graduation rate. Its 2025–2026 End-of-Course scores all beat state averages, led by Geometry at 70.1% vs. 43.3% statewide. Its weak spot is chronic absenteeism at 16.8%. Wauseon Elementary School has the lowest absenteeism in the ZIP at 6.9% and improved from 742nd of 1,558 to 551st of 1,560 (65th percentile, 3 stars). Wauseon Middle School has the smallest classes (13.1 students per teacher) and 100% Algebra I proficiency in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, but the highest absenteeism (16.6%) and a reported free/reduced-lunch rate of 92.93%. Wauseon Primary School has no test scores or rank because it serves PK–2, but its 9.1% absenteeism is below the district's 12.8%.
Overall, 2025–2026 was a clear step up: every reported test score across all tested schools came in above the state average, including several subjects that had fallen short in 2024–2025. Attendance is the shared concern, and it is concentrated in the secondary grades, where both the middle and high schools exceed the district's 12.8% rate. Note that Wauseon Elementary's free/reduced-lunch figure is blank and should be treated as unknown, and spending figures date to 2018–2019 rather than reflecting current funding.
