Summary:
ZIP code 44839 covers Huron, Ohio, and is home to four schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving about 1,184 students. Three of them belong to Huron City Schools, a district ranked 83rd of 773 in Ohio (89th percentile, 4 stars), while Huron Sports Academy operates as its own small standalone district. Woodlands Elementary School alone enrolls 523 students, 44% of everyone in the ZIP.
Woodlands Elementary School is the ZIP's strongest grade-level performer, averaging 21 points above the Ohio average across seven tested subjects in 2025-26, including 97% proficiency in fifth-grade science (state: 62.7%). It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area, at 5.6%, despite the largest classes per teacher. Huron High School is the area's top-ranked school — 77th of 795 Ohio high schools, 90th percentile, 5 stars — with a 100% graduation rate and an average 21-point margin over the state; its Geometry proficiency jumped 12.5 points in one year. Both schools outperform their own district's 4-star rating.
McCormick Middle School is solid but uneven: 198th of 1,046 (81st percentile, 4 stars) and 15.4 points above state on average, but seventh-grade math is only 8.3 points above state — the narrowest gap in the ZIP — and eighth-grade science fell 12.4 points. Huron Sports Academy, with just 22 students, has the highest poverty (68.18% free/reduced lunch) and absenteeism (25.5%) in the ZIP and no reported test scores, rankings, or spending data. One caution: per-student spending figures date to 2018-19 and should not be compared with current results.
