Summary:
Eastern Local School District in Ohio is a small district of four schools — two elementary schools serving grades K–5 (one beginning at pre-K), one middle school for grades 6–8, and one high school for grades 9–12 — enrolling about 1,082 students in total. The district is rated 3 stars and ranks 240th of 773 Ohio districts, placing it at the 69th percentile.
Among the four schools, Russellville Elementary School is the standout: in 2025–26 it ranked 170th of 1,560 elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), up from 338th in 2023–24, and its results beat both district and state in all seven listed tests, including 91.1% in 3rd-grade math. Sardinia Elementary School has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 9.0%, below the district's 11.5%, but its 2025–26 scores are more mixed. Eastern Middle School reports 100% proficiency in Algebra I in both years — likely a selected, advanced cohort rather than overall math performance — while Eastern High School has a 96.6% graduation rate, the district's smallest student-teacher ratio at 13.0, and above-state results in most End-of-Course tests.
The clearest academic weakness is middle-school math: Eastern Middle scored 46.2% in Math 6 against a state rate of 56.2%, and 39.0% in Math 7 against 48.6%. Trends also differ — Russellville is trending upward, while Eastern High has slipped from 4 stars and 76th percentile in 2023–24 to 3 stars and 55th percentile in 2025–26. With only about 254–295 students per school, single-year swings can be volatile, so multi-year patterns are the more reliable signal.
