Summary:
ZIP code 44685 in the Uniontown area of Ohio contains four schools — two elementaries and two high schools, one of which (Lake Middle / High School) actually serves grades 7–12 — enrolling 3,051 students combined across the Lake Local, Green Local, and Portage Lakes districts. Both Lake Local (46th of 773 districts, 94th percentile) and Green Local (72nd of 773, 91st percentile) hold 5-star ratings, so families here are choosing between two highly ranked systems.
Lake Middle / High School is the academic standout and by far the largest school, with 1,655 students — 54.2% of all students in the ZIP and more than the other three schools combined. It has ranked in the top 5% of Ohio high schools for three straight years, graduates 97.2% of students, and averages roughly 25 percentage points above the state on its 2025–2026 tests. Green Primary School also performs well, with 3rd-grade math at 85.0% versus 64.4% statewide and ELA at 77.1% versus 61.3%. Lake Primary School lists no test scores, which is expected for its K–1 span.
Attendance splits the two levels sharply: both primaries report 8.7% chronic absenteeism, while Lake Middle / High School reports 19.2% — above its district's 11.2%. Per-student spending (2018–2019) is nearly identical at Green Primary ($9,834) and Lake Middle / High ($9,793), with Lake Primary lower at $8,407. Portage Lakes Career Center, a 130-student career center for grades 11–12 with a 5.5 student-teacher ratio, has no performance data reported here and is not directly comparable.
