Summary:
ZIP code 44839 covers the Huron, Ohio area on Lake Erie and includes two elementary schools: Woodlands Elementary School, a PK–5 school within Huron City Schools with 523 students, and Huron Sports Academy, a K–6 school with only 22 students that is listed as its own district. Together they enroll 545 students, and Woodlands accounts for about 96% of that total.
Woodlands is the clear academic standout. Its 2025–2026 Ohio State Tests results are above the state in every reported subject: 97% proficient in 5th grade science vs. 62.7% statewide, 92.5% in 5th grade English language arts vs. 70.4%, 85.3% in 5th grade mathematics vs. 59.1%, and 81.1% in 3rd grade English language arts vs. 63.4%. It ranked 175 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (89th percentile, 4 stars), after 110 of 1,558 in 2024–2025 (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Its district ranks 83 of 773 districts. Woodlands’ chronic absenteeism is 5.6%, below its district’s 9.8%.
Huron Sports Academy looks very different: 22 students, a student-teacher ratio of 3.1 versus Woodlands’ 19.3, chronic absenteeism of 25.5%, and free/reduced lunch at 68.18% versus Woodlands’ 36.33%. No test scores, rankings, or spending data are provided for it, so its academic performance cannot be evaluated — that missing data should be read as unavailable, not as a low result. Woodlands’ only spending figure is $10,199 per student from 2018–2019. Parents comparing the two should note that Woodlands offers a large, high-performing, low-absenteeism setting, while Huron Sports Academy is a very small school with higher measured need and absenteeism and an unknown academic profile in this data set.
