Summary:
ZIP code 45865 in Minster, Ohio is served by two public schools in the Minster Local district: Minster Elementary School, which serves grades K–6 with 504 students, and Minster Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7–12 with 392 students, for a total of 896 students. Both schools are part of a district that ranks #5 of 773 Ohio districts, in the 99th percentile with 5 stars.
Both schools are among the best in the state and hold 5 stars. Minster Junior/Senior High School ranked #5 of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026, with a 100.0% graduation rate and very high proficiency in Algebra I (98.6%), American History (98.6%), and American Government (98.3%). Minster Elementary School ranked #20 of 1,560 elementary schools in 2025–2026, with standout results in 3rd Grade ELA (98.6%) and 5th Grade Math (98.4%). Every listed test score at both schools exceeds the state average. The elementary school’s chronic absenteeism is very low at 2.7%, while the high school’s is 9.7%, above the district’s 5.6% — the clearest difference between the two.
Other differences are modest: free/reduced lunch is 12.5% at the elementary and 11.99% at the high school, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.6 versus 15.4. One caveat is that some year-over-year swings, such as 8th Grade Math moving from 100% to 81.3%, may reflect small cohorts rather than a lasting change, since the score is still far above the state’s 52.0%.
