Eastern Elementary School

Public Grades 4-8

Summary

Eastern Elementary School in Lexington, OH, is a 504-student school serving grades 4–8 in the Lexington Local district, despite its "Elementary" name. Its state test results cover grades 4–6, while grades 7–8 are handled by the same district's Lexington Junior High School, so grade-level comparisons with other schools need care.

Academics are the headline: every reported 2025–26 score is above the state average, often by double digits. Science 5 was 81.8 (state 62.7), Math 4 was 81.2 (state 67.3), Math 5 was 84.2 (state 59.1), Math 6 was 85.3 (state 56.2), ELA 4 was 72.1 (state 61.8), ELA 5 was 82.0 (state 70.4), and ELA 6 was 80.1 (state 56.0) — gaps ranging from +10.3 points in grade 4 ELA to +29.1 points in grade 6 math. Eastern posts the highest grade 6 math and ELA scores among nearby schools, ahead of Fredericktown Middle School (76.1 math), Lucas Heritage Middle School (67.6), Ontario Middle School (66.4), Shelby Middle School (62.9), Clear Fork Middle School (54.1), Madison Middle School (47.2) and Galion Middle School (36.4). In grade 5, its one nearby direct comparator, Madison, trails Eastern in math, ELA and science. Historically it ranked in the 91st–93rd percentile with 5 stars in 2014–15 through 2016–17.

Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism was 9.1% in 2025–26, roughly half the 18.4% of 2021–22, below the district's 12.0%, and much better than Mansfield Middle School (29.1%), Galion (21.0%) and Shelby (17.5%). Watch items: grade 4 ELA slipped from 81.3 to 79.3 to 72.1 over three years, and grade 4 math from 89.5 to 82.6 to 81.2 — still above state, but the clearest caution. Free/reduced lunch rose from 24.68% to 33.53%, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 15.3 to 17.4. Per-pupil spending was $8,210 in 2018–19.
