Summary:
The Eastern Local district in Ohio has only one elementary school, Eastern Elementary School, which serves students from the surrounding area. Despite being ranked in the 700s out of over 1,500 Ohio elementary schools, Eastern Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.
The school's performance on state tests has been mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average while others fall below. For example, 5th-grade science proficiency was 73.3% in 2024-2025, above the state average of 63.4%, but 3rd-grade math proficiency was 57.1%, below the state average of 64.4%. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (57.58% in 2023-2024) and relatively high chronic absenteeism rate (36.0% in 2024-2025) suggest it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Eastern Elementary School appears to be allocating resources in a way that prioritizes smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 15.8 in 2023-2024, which is relatively low compared to the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,110, indicating a focus on providing individualized attention and support for its students. Overall, while Eastern Elementary School has room for improvement, it has maintained a consistent level of performance and appears to be making efforts to address the needs of its student population.
