About Oak Harbor Intermediate School

Oak Harbor Intermediate School earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating placing it well inside Ohio's top tier. Serving 327 students in grades 4 through 6, it ranks 74th among 3,440 public schools in the state, outperforming 98% of Ohio schools on academic and growth measures combined. For a school of this size in a small Ohio city, that standing is notable.

Academic performance scores 9.2 out of 10. Growth scores even higher at 9.3 out of 10, meaning students here advance faster than the vast majority of their Ohio peers year over year. A 15.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio keeps class sizes small enough for consistent individual attention across all three grade levels.

Among Ohio's 650 middle schools, Oak Harbor Intermediate ranks 18th. Within the city, it holds the top spot among all three public schools. For families weighing upper elementary and early middle school options, the numbers here are direct: few schools in Ohio at this grade band combine this level of academic achievement with this rate of student growth.

What Parents Should Know

Located in a rural area, Oak Harbor Intermediate School may involve longer commutes for some families.
