Summary

New Lexington Elementary School is a PK–5 school in New Lexington, Ohio, serving 465 students as part of the New Lexington School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,091st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 30th percentile, with 2 stars — placing it in the lower third of the state. Its rank has ranged from the 22nd to the 43rd percentile over the past decade, peaking at the 43rd percentile in 2020–2021, so there has been no sustained upward trend.

Among nearby ranked elementary schools, New Lexington Elementary School has the lowest 2025–2026 percentile rank. The clearest comparison is Junction City Elementary School, a similarly sized PK–5 school in the same district about five miles away: it ranks at the 58th percentile with 3 stars, scores higher in every comparable subject and grade, has lower chronic absenteeism (15.4% vs. 20.6%), and a slightly smaller student-teacher ratio (17.4 vs. 18.6). Fifth grade science is the most urgent weakness, at 23.3% proficiency compared with 40.3% for the district and 62.7% for Ohio, and down from roughly 35–36% in prior years. Fifth grade math is also persistently weak, at 38.4%.

English language arts is comparatively stronger but inconsistent; third grade ELA (61.4%) is close to the state average, while grades 4 and 5 trail both district and state. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 28.3% to 20.6%, better than the district's 24.7% but above several higher-performing nearby schools. One genuine bright spot: the special education subgroup ranks in the 65th percentile with 3 stars. Per-student spending of $10,253 in 2018–2019 was higher than at several higher-ranked nearby schools, suggesting funding alone does not explain the academic gap.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, May 16, 2019

This is the worst school my son has attended. He has autism and this school and teachers are not equipped to handle children like him. They constantly call us about our son. One day they called us saying our son was complaining of his belly hurting and he was acting funny. Behold when my husband picked him up he was just fine. Our son who has autism said that he was hungry. Now ur telling me this school couldn’t figure that out. Also calling us about change in behaviors this past week and want to ask if anything has been going on at home. Obviously if the behaviors are at school it’s something going on there. Also principal stated that he was throwing his shoes and socks because he was hungry and it was after lunch. Now the school knows he has eating issues and doesn’t like to eat. They couldn’t just give him a snack and he would have been fine. My children will not attend this school next upcoming year. These people are truly incompetent here. If ur child has a disability or autism. U better save urself and send them elsewhere Close Quote
