New Riegel Local School District is located in southwest Seneca County. It is a rural school district, encompassing approximately 38 square miles. The district's 488 students are housed in a facility, opened in 2003, within the village of New Riegel. Fostoria, Findlay and Tiffin are within fifteen minutes of New Riegel.
The New Riegel community takes great pride in its school system. High academic standards, as evidenced by outstanding achievement testing, are the norm. With an average class size of 16 and a preschool who once again earned a GOLD STAR rating from the Ohio Department of Education, New Riegel Schools strives to give students a quality education in a small school setting. A near zero dropout rate and student attendance, which consistently ranks in the top 5% of all public schools, creates an atmosphere of excellence.
The district's vocational students attend Vanguard-Sentinel Joint Vocational School in Tiffin on a half-day basis. An excellent working relationship exists between the two agencies.
