Summary:
Lagrange, Ohio is home to three public schools — Keystone Elementary School (PK–5), Keystone Middle School (6–8), and Keystone High School (9–12) — all part of the Keystone Local district, and together they enroll 1,387 students. The district as a whole ranks 248th of 773 Ohio districts, placing it in the 68th percentile with 3 stars, but that single rating hides wide differences among the three schools.
Keystone High is the standout: it ranks 162nd of 795 schools (80th percentile, 4 stars) and posts a 96.5% graduation rate. Its 2025–26 End-of-Course scores are above the state in every subject, including Biology (87.6% vs. 67.0%), English II (81.2% vs. 62.7%), American History (89.0% vs. 73.2%), and Algebra I (77.8% vs. 61.6%). Keystone Middle also beats the state on most measures, ranking 322nd of 1,046 (69th percentile, 3 stars), with 100% Algebra I proficiency in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, plus strong 8th grade math (73.5% vs. 52.0%) and 7th grade ELA (76.7% vs. 62.7%); its weak spot is 6th grade math, below state in both years (48.6% vs. 56.2%). Keystone Elementary ranks 802nd of 1,560 (49th percentile, 2 stars), with 4th grade math (75.9% vs. 67.3%) and 5th grade science (71.9% vs. 62.7%) above state, but 4th grade ELA (50.0% vs. 61.8%) and 3rd grade math (55.0% vs. 62.1%) below.
Attendance is the most striking contrast: chronic absenteeism is 6.9% at the elementary school, 16.9% at the middle school, and 24.9% at the high school, the last well above the district rate of 14.2%. Free/reduced lunch rates are similar across all three (35.11%, 35.88%, and 39.03%), so they do not explain the performance gaps. Per-student spending figures date to 2018–19 and should be read as historical context rather than current resources.
