Summary

New Lexington High School is a public high school serving 506 students in grades 9-12 in New Lexington, Ohio, which is part of the New Lexington School District. The school has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.9% to 97.6% in recent years, which is strong compared to the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 38.0%, which is an area of concern.

New Lexington High School's performance on Ohio State Tests is mixed, with the school performing well in some subjects like American Government and Algebra I, but struggling in others like Geometry and English II, where proficiency rates are significantly below the state average. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, ranking relatively well for special education and low socioeconomic status students, but lagging behind in performance for white and gifted and talented students.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Fairfield Union High School and Sheridan High School, New Lexington High School generally performs in the middle to lower range on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and implementing targeted interventions to support underperforming student groups could be opportunities for the school to enhance its overall academic outcomes and provide a more well-rounded educational experience for its students.
