Best Public Schools in Lockland, OH

The city of Lockland, Ohio is home to two public schools: Lockland Junior Senior High School and Lockland Elementary School, both of which serve students from the Lockland Local school district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that both schools are underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.

Neither Lockland Junior Senior High School nor Lockland Elementary School appear to be standout performers. Lockland Junior Senior High School is ranked 682 out of 855 Ohio high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Lockland Elementary School is ranked 1,363 out of 1,558 Ohio elementary schools and also has a 1-star rating. Both schools have consistently low rankings and ratings over the past few years, with Lockland Junior Senior High School's 4-year graduation rate of 80.4% significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, both schools struggle with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates of 51.8%.

The academic performance of the Lockland schools is also a major concern, with both institutions consistently scoring well below state averages on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade science, Lockland Junior Senior High School scored only 12% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 63%, while in 3rd grade math, Lockland Elementary School scored 48.4% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 64.4%. The data suggests that the Lockland schools may be operating with limited resources, as they spend less per student and have higher student-teacher ratios than the state average, which could be contributing to their underperformance.
