Summary:
Erlanger-Elsmere Independent includes seven schools: four elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools, serving students across different grade spans. The 2025–26 results vary considerably by school and subject: Lindeman and Miles often stand out among elementary schools, while Howell is frequently at the low end. The most important overall finding is that the average reported result is below the matching state average in every subject, with gaps ranging from 2 points in writing to 11 points in editing and mechanics.
Lindeman leads elementary schools in Grade 4 math and reading, at 36% and 43%, and Grade 5 math and reading, at 58% and 67%. Miles leads in Grade 3 math and reading, with 53% and 56%, and in Grade 5 writing, at 47%; its Grade 4 science result of 40% matches the state rate. By contrast, Howell has 9% in Grade 5 math and 15% in Grade 5 reading—49 and 52 points below Lindeman, respectively. At the high-school level, Lloyd is 6 points above the state in Grade 10 reading and 2 points above in Grade 11 writing, but below the state in four of its other six reported subjects.
Results moved closer to state levels by an average of 2 points across matched school-grade tests from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the pattern differs by school: Lloyd improved by an average of 9 points and Miles by 6, while Arnett declined by 8. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentiles also rose from 15 to 54 for Miles and from 44 to 54 for Lindeman; Howell fell from 10 to 5. All schools report free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–25, ranging from 87% to 94%; this is context, not an explanation for results. Student-teacher ratios range from 10.5 to 15.4 among elementary schools. Bartlett Educational Center has the highest chronic absenteeism, 62%, and its 2025–26 test results are suppressed, so it cannot be compared with the other schools.
