Summary

McKinley Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Lisbon, OH, serving 307 students as part of the Lisbon Exempted Village district. It is rated 3 stars and ranked 735th of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 (53rd percentile), while its district is rated 2 stars and ranks 498th of 773 districts (36th percentile).

McKinley's standout strength is upper-grade math and science. In 2025–2026, 90.2% of 5th graders were proficient in math versus 59.1% statewide, and 82.4% were proficient in science versus 62.7% statewide. That beats every nearby school serving grade 5 — United Elementary School (67.1% math, 73.7% science), Southern Local Elementary School (46.8% math, 70.2% science), and Leetonia Elementary School (50% math, 52.5% science) — and the pattern holds across three years. The school's low-income subgroup also ranks in the top quartile statewide (72nd percentile, 4 stars for three straight years), a strong sign of effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students. Class size is favorable at 13.9 students per teacher in 2024–2025, among the lowest locally.

The clearest weakness is early reading. Third-grade ELA proficiency was 52.9% (state: 63.4%) and 4th-grade ELA was 45.2% (state: 61.8%), trailing Joshua Dixon Elementary School, Crestview Elementary School, Beaver Local Elementary School, United, and Leetonia. Special education students rank at the 35th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply, from 50.3% in 2021–2022 to 18.9% in 2025–2026, below the district's 21.0% — yet above Joshua Dixon (10.7%), Buckeye Elementary School (10.9%), and United (11.6%). Overall, McKinley sits mid-pack locally: above East Palestine Elementary School, Reilly Elementary School, Southern Local, and Lacroft Elementary School, but below Joshua Dixon, Crestview, United, Leetonia, and Beaver Local.
