Cardington-Lincoln Local


Summary:

The Cardington-Lincoln Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces some challenges, such as below-average test scores and high poverty levels, there are also some standout schools and positive indicators.

The Cardington-Lincoln Middle School is a strong performer, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio middle schools and receiving a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has also achieved a remarkable 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly outpacing district and state averages. In contrast, the Cardington-Lincoln Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 50% to the bottom 30% of Ohio elementary schools over the past few years.

At the high school level, the Cardington-Lincoln High School stands out for its impressive 94.4% 4-year graduation rate, which is notably higher than the state average. However, the school's overall performance, as measured by the 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests there is room for improvement. Across the district, high poverty levels, as indicated by the extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and relatively high chronic absenteeism rates are areas of concern that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
