Summary

Keystone Elementary School in Lagrange, OH is a PK–5 school serving 655 students in the Keystone Local district, a mid-sized rural/suburban district that ranks 248th of 773 Ohio districts. The school's own trajectory is the story: a decade ago it was a top-quartile school (76th–80th percentile, 4 stars), and it now sits around the state midpoint (49th percentile, 2 stars), with the largest single-year drop in 2024-2025. The slide began before the pandemic and has continued since, so it is not a COVID blip.

On 2025-2026 state tests, Keystone was above the state average in 4th-grade math (75.9%), 5th-grade math (62.8%), and 5th-grade science (71.9%); at the state average in 3rd- and 5th-grade English language arts (64.5% and 70.2%); and below it in 3rd-grade math (55% vs. 62.1%) and 4th-grade ELA (50% vs. 61.8%). That 4th-grade reading result is the sharpest anomaly — it was 67.7% two years earlier — and 5th-grade ELA recovering to 70.2% suggests a cohort effect rather than a systemic problem. Attendance is the clearest bright spot: chronic absenteeism has fallen four straight years to 6.9%, the lowest of any school in this comparison set and roughly half the district's 14.2% rate. Keystone does this with the lowest per-pupil spending in the group ($8,839 in 2018-2019), a stable 17.2 student-teacher ratio, and 35.1% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.

Keystone's subgroup results show an unusual pattern: students with disabilities rank at the 54th–56th percentile (3 stars), while low-income students sit at the 40th percentile (2 stars). Nearby Midview West Elementary School and Midview North Elementary School, whose district ranks at the same percentile as Keystone's, post stronger proficiency across grades despite a higher poverty rate, and Buckeye Primary School is the regional leader. The Elyria City Schools' elementary schools sit well below Keystone. The takeaway: a mid-performing school with an excellent attendance culture and real strengths in 4th-grade math and 5th-grade science, but with a decade-long ranking decline and a 4th-grade reading gap worth watching.
