Summary:
ZIP code 44685 in Uniontown, Ohio is home to just two high schools — one large comprehensive 7–12 building and one small career-technical center serving grades 11–12 — with a combined enrollment of 1,785 students.
Lake Middle / High School, part of Lake Local, enrolls 1,655 students, or 92.7% of the ZIP's total, and is the area's academic standout: five stars in each of the last three years, a 2025-26 rank of 36th of 795 Ohio high schools (95th percentile), and proficiency above the state average in all 11 tested subjects, by margins of roughly 19 to 35 percentage points. Its graduation rate is 97.2%. Math is its relative soft spot — about 80 on average versus about 89 across non-math subjects — though even its lowest end-of-course result, Geometry at 78.3, sits 35 points above the state. The main watch item is chronic absenteeism: 19.2% of students, nearly 1 in 5, compared with 11.2% for the district. Also note that because grades 7 and 8 are housed in this building, some reported scores come from middle-grade students rather than high schoolers.
Portage Lakes Career Center, in Portage Lakes, enrolls 130 students in grades 11–12 with a 5.5:1 student-teacher ratio — a 3.5× difference from Lake's 19.2:1. It reports no ranking, test, graduation, or absenteeism data in this data set, so it cannot be evaluated on outcomes here, and its unreported free/reduced-lunch figure should be read as not reported. For families, ZIP 44685 offers one high-performing comprehensive 7–12 school and one small, specialized upper-grade career center whose performance is not observable in this data.
