Summary:
ZIP code 45845 covers the village of Fort Loramie in Shelby County, Ohio, and contains just two public schools — Fort Loramie Elementary School serving grades K–6 and Fort Loramie Junior-Senior High School serving grades 7–12 — with 722 students total and no middle or alternative schools. Both belong to one district, Fort Loramie Local, which ranks 4th out of 773 Ohio districts, in the 99th percentile with 5 stars. Because each building covers a full grade span, school and district test scores are identical.
The elementary school is the standout: in 2025-2026 it ranked 4th out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, up from 14th and 9th in the two prior years. Its nine reported assessments all beat the state, averaging 96.7% proficient against 62.1% statewide, with perfect 100% results in 3rd-grade math, 5th-grade math, and 3rd-grade ELA. Chronic absenteeism is 1.7%, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.3.
The high school is also elite, ranking 11th of 795 Ohio high schools with a 100% graduation rate. Its eleven assessments all exceed the state, averaging 91.7% proficient versus 60.2%; Algebra I has been 100% proficient two years running. Even its lowest absolute scores — 8th-grade ELA at 80.0% and Geometry at 85.2% — sit well above state averages. The two buildings differ in staffing (18.8 students per teacher at the high school versus 14.3), and the high school's 2.4% absenteeism is slightly above the district's 1.9%, while poverty indicators are low in both (under 9% free/reduced lunch). For parents, this is a small, stable K–12 community performing at the very top of Ohio.
