Best High Schools in Zip Code 44839

ZIP code 44839 covers Huron, Ohio, in Erie County, and it contains exactly one public high school: Huron High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 372 students. It is the only high school in the Huron City Schools district, so for most subjects the school's scores and the district's scores are one and the same. That single-school structure keeps things simple for families: there is one option here, and it is a strong one.

Huron High is a top-decile Ohio school. In 2025–2026 it ranked 77th of 795 high schools — the 90th percentile — and earned 5 stars, its best rating in three years on record. Proficiency beat the state in every subject tested: American History 92.6% versus 73.2%, American Government 90.3% versus 71.6%, Biology 89.6% versus 67.0%, English II 80.9% versus 62.7%, Geometry 78.4% versus 43.3%, and Algebra I 73.6% versus 61.6%. That works out to roughly 84% proficiency on average against about 63% statewide. All six subjects improved year over year, the graduation rate is a perfect 100%, and the district ranks 83rd of 773 Ohio districts.

Two things are worth watching. Math is improving fast — Geometry jumped 12.5 points in a single year, the largest gain in the data, and Algebra I added 5.2 points, narrowing the school's smallest margin over the state. On the other hand, chronic absenteeism sits at 13.9%, above the district's 9.8% — the only measure where the school trails its own system. Note also that the per-student spending figure ($9,612) dates from 2018–2019 and no longer reflects current funding.
