LaBrae Local

LaBrae Local in Ohio serves 999 students across four schools—two elementary, one middle, and one high school—covering grades K–12, and is ranked 444th of 773 Ohio schools at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars. The schools are LaBrae High School (9–12, 293 students), LaBrae Intermediate School (3–5, 246), LaBrae Middle School (6–8, 236), and Bascom Elementary School (K–2, 224). The high, intermediate, and middle schools have test and rank data; Bascom has no state test scores or rank history, and its free/reduced-lunch percentage is not available.

LaBrae Intermediate School has the strongest current position: 54th percentile with 3 stars, the lowest chronic absenteeism at 14.1%, and results above the state in 6 of 7 reported 2025–2026 test areas, including 3rd-grade math at 74.4% vs. 62.1%. It also has the highest reported free/reduced-lunch rate at 71.14%. LaBrae Middle School improved from 45 to 51 in rank percentile and from 2 to 3 stars, with Algebra I at 100% and 7th-grade gains, though 6th-grade ELA is weak at 41.9% vs. 56.0%. LaBrae High School has a 96.4% graduation rate and strengths in American Government (84.4% vs. 71.6%) and English II (71.1% vs. 62.7%), but its rank percentile fell from 57 to 36, absenteeism is highest at 26.3%, and Algebra I is 25.8% vs. 61.6% statewide.

Bascom Elementary School has the highest per-student spending at $10,669 (2018–2019) and the highest student-teacher ratio at 18.6, with 19.3% chronic absenteeism. Attendance loosely aligns with outcomes: the lowest-absenteeism school, LaBrae Intermediate School, is the most consistent academically, while the highest-absenteeism school, LaBrae High School, has the weakest rank and biggest math gaps. Resources do not map neatly: LaBrae Middle School has the lowest spending ($9,116) and lowest student-teacher ratio (13.8) and is improving. The biggest red flag is the Algebra I pipeline: LaBrae Middle School’s 100% contrasts with LaBrae High School’s 25.8%, and the district’s 38.8% sits between them. Overall, LaBrae Local has a relatively strong intermediate/middle pipeline, a high school with graduation strength but attendance and math concerns, and a K–2 building whose academic performance cannot be judged from this data set.
