Summary:
Hebron, Ohio is a small city served by three schools — two elementary-level and one high school — all within the Lakewood Local district, with about 1,251 students total across grades PK–12 (note that grades 6–8 are not represented among these schools). The district as a whole ranks at the 50th percentile in Ohio with 3 stars, but the individual schools differ quite a bit from one another.
Jackson Intermediate (grades 3–5, 380 students) is the steadiest performer, holding at the 56th percentile with 3 stars for three straight years, and its upper-grade math results are well above state averages — 4th grade math at least 16 points higher and 5th grade math roughly 17 points higher than Ohio overall. Its weak spot is 3rd grade, where both math and English Language Arts sat at 55.9%, below the state, with ELA dropping sharply from the prior year. Lakewood High School (grades 9–12, 450 students) is more uneven: it shines in Algebra I at 79.2% proficient versus 61.6% statewide, and also beats the state in American Government and Biology, but trails in Geometry (38.6% vs. 43.3%), English II, and American History. It also posts a 99.2% graduation rate yet has chronic absenteeism of 32.0% — about double the roughly 15% at the other two schools — and its rating slipped to 46th percentile with 2 stars.
Lakewood Elementary School (grades PK–2, 421 students) has no state test scores or ranking because of the grades it serves, so it is hard to judge academically; its notable figures are a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%, the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 52.97%, and the largest student-teacher ratio at 18.3. Across all three schools, about half the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Families comparing options here should weigh Jackson Intermediate's consistent above-state results against the high school's strong math and graduation numbers but weaker Geometry, English, and attendance picture.
