Summary:
ZIP code 45887 is served by three schools — Spencerville Elementary School (K–4, 336 students), Spencerville Middle School (5–8, 315 students), and Spencerville High School (9–12, 335 students) — all part of Spencerville Local, a single-campus district of 986 students in which every building shares one address. The district ranks 128th of 773 Ohio districts (83rd percentile, 4 stars).
Academically, results are strong across the board: all 21 reported 2025‑26 assessments at all three schools came in above the state average. The elementary posted the district's single best year (98th percentile, 5 stars in 2023‑24) and now sits at the 87th percentile with 4 stars and the lowest chronic absenteeism (6.1%). The middle school is the most consistent — 84th, 87th, and 85th percentile over three straight years — and reached 100% proficiency on the Algebra I end-of-course exam two years running, against state figures of 61.6% and 59.4%. The high school ranks lowest (69th percentile, 3 stars) but improved in 5 of 6 end-of-course subjects and posted a 100% graduation rate.
The clearest pattern is that performance and attendance both slip as students move up: percentile rank falls 87 → 85 → 69, stars 4 → 4 → 3, and chronic absenteeism rises 6.1% → 9.5% → 13.4%, with the high school well above the district's 9.3%. Two things to watch are 8th grade science at the middle school, which fell 20.6 points and now sits just 0.7 points above state, and the high school's attendance rate. Notably, the elementary reports 99.11% free/reduced lunch yet still outperforms the state by roughly 21 points on average.
