Summary:
The city of New Lexington, Ohio is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: New Lexington High School, New Lexington Elementary School, and New Lexington Middle School. These schools are part of the New Lexington School District and provide education to the local community.
Among the standout schools, New Lexington High School boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 97.3% and exceptional performance in Algebra I End of Course exams, with 100% proficiency in the last two school years. However, the school has a lower statewide ranking, ranking between 452-580 out of 855-867 Ohio high schools in the past 3 years, and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. New Lexington Middle School has shown steady improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 589 out of 1,048 Ohio middle schools in 2022-2023 to 450 out of 1,036 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating in the latest year. The middle school also demonstrated strong performance in Algebra I End of Course exams and relatively high proficiency rates in 8th grade Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages.
While the schools in the New Lexington district have some areas of strength, such as the high graduation rate at the high school and the improved statewide ranking at the middle school, there are also areas of concern. All three schools in the district had a high 23.8% chronic absenteeism rate in the 2024-2025 school year, which is relatively high compared to the state. Additionally, the data reveals varying levels of performance across different grade levels and subjects, both within and across the schools, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address specific areas of weakness.
