The Fostoria City school district in Ohio has only one high school, Fostoria Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged.

Fostoria Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's limited resources and the challenges faced by its students may contribute to the school's academic struggles.
