Summary:
ZIP code 44826 covers Collins, Ohio, and it contains just one high school: Western Reserve High School, a grades 8–12 school serving 291 students in the Western Reserve Local district. Since it is the only high school in the area, there are no other local schools to compare it against; the most useful comparisons are the school against its own past performance, its district, and the state.
The school is on a clear upswing. In 2025–2026 it ranked 280 out of 795 high schools, placing it in the 65th percentile with 3 stars, up from 433 out of 855 (49th percentile, 2 stars) the year before. Social studies and science are its strengths: 93% of students were proficient in American History, 19.8 percentage points above the state; 84.5% in Biology, 17.5 points above; and 77.8% in American Government. English II rebounded sharply from 57.3% to 70.2%. In 2024–2025 the school was below the state in English II, Geometry, and Algebra I, but in 2025–2026 it was above the state in all six reported End-of-Course subjects. Math remains the weak spot: Geometry was lowest at 45.1% proficient, only 1.8 points above the state, and Algebra I (62.5%) trailed the district's 66.3%.
Other numbers worth knowing: the graduation rate is 98.8%, matching the district. Chronic absenteeism is 20.7% at the school versus 14.8% in the district, 5.9 points higher and worth watching. In 2024–2025, 74.57% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 16.8 for 2024–2025. Spending figures date from 2018–2019 at $10,342 per student, so they may not reflect current resources.
