Summary:
ZIP 45858 covers the village of McComb in northwestern Ohio, where two schools — McComb Local Elementary School (grades K–6, 305 students) and McComb Local Junior/Senior High School (grades 7–12, 282 students) — serve about 587 students as the entire McComb Local district, with no standalone middle school or alternative school.
The two buildings are strong in different subjects. The elementary school is the math-and-science standout: 5th grade science scored 83.3 against a state average of 62.7, 4th grade math 87.0 against 67.3, and 5th grade math 78.6 against 59.1. Its chronic absenteeism is 7.1%, roughly half the district's 12.8%, and 84.92% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch — a high-need profile paired with above-state results. The junior/senior high school is the opposite mix: American Government (84.5 vs. 71.6) and American History (84.8 vs. 73.2) are well above state, English II is 75.0 vs. 62.7, and the graduation rate is 100.0%. But its math results are below state — Geometry 33.3 vs. 43.3 and Algebra I 50.0 vs. 61.6 — and 19.8% of students are chronically absent, about 1 in 5 and nearly three times the elementary rate.
Two patterns are worth watching. First, math proficiency falls steadily up the grades, from 4th grade's 87.0 to 6th grade's 58.3, then 7th at 44.2 and 8th at 47.8, ending with Geometry as the weakest single result in the data. Second, the absenteeism jump between the two buildings is larger than most test-score gaps here. District-wide, McComb Local ranks 400th of 773 Ohio districts (48th percentile, 2 stars), while both schools show 3 stars and above-median percentiles. Note that graduation and absenteeism figures cover 2025–2026 only, spending figures date to 2018–2019, and the high school's free/reduced-lunch number is not reported.
