Summary

Lacroft Elementary School is a K–4 school in East Liverpool, OH, serving 339 students in the East Liverpool City district. In 2025–2026, it ranks 1270th of 1560 Ohio elementary schools (19th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranks 642nd of 773 (17th percentile, 1 star). Over 10 years, its percentile has ranged only from 15th to 28th. Proficiency is 37% in 3rd grade math, 52% in 4th grade math, 29.6% in 3rd grade ELA, and 42.7% in 4th grade ELA—all below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism improved from 46.0% (2021–2022) to 26.3% (2025–2026), below the district’s 34.6%.

Compared with nearby schools, Lacroft is among the weakest. North Elementary School in the same district ranks 30th percentile with 2 stars and beats Lacroft on all four 2025–2026 grade 3/4 tests: math 3 45.6% vs 37%, math 4 64.5% vs 52%, ELA 3 43% vs 29.6%, and ELA 4 53.2% vs 42.7%. Yet North has higher chronic absenteeism (35.0% vs 26.3%) and a larger student-teacher ratio (16.8 vs 13.8). Lacroft’s 3rd grade math and ELA are the lowest among nearby schools with reported grade 3 results; its 4th grade results beat only Southern Local Elementary School’s. Its chronic absenteeism remains high regionally; Crestview Elementary School, Stanton Elementary School, Southern Local Elementary School, East Palestine Elementary School, and McKinley Elementary School are lower, and only North Elementary School is higher.

Lacroft has been persistently bottom-quartile statewide. Its 4th grade results are the highest in four years but still trail district and state averages. Cohort volatility is notable: students who scored 61.3% in math and 50% in ELA as 3rd graders in 2024–2025 fell to 52% and 42.7% as 4th graders, while the new 3rd grade cohort entered much lower. Attendance is improving faster than achievement. Subgroup performance is low for low-income and special education students. Resources do not explain outcomes: Lacroft spends more per student than several nearby schools and has smaller classes than North Elementary School. Data limits include missing free/reduced lunch data and older spending data, but the pattern points to a need for stronger core instruction and student support.
