Children can attend Sheffield Elementary School, which earns a B-minus from Niche, before possibly moving on to Sandusky Middle School, which receives a C-minus and hosts “Family Film on the Field” nights where students can watch movies outside with a side of free popcorn. The nearby Heritage High School earns a B-minus and was renovated in 2017 with a $74 million budget that went into fixing decades of structural issues, a new student parking lot and state-of-the-art football and baseball fields. Students also have the option of private schooling at Liberty Christian Academy, which earns an A-minus from Niche.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
