Eastern Elementary School

Public Grades 4-8

Summary

Eastern Elementary School is a public middle school located in Lexington, Ohio, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 512 students. The school has consistently ranked highly in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top 100 Ohio middle schools for several years. Eastern Elementary School is part of the Lexington Local school district.

Eastern Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 82.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. Similarly, the school's 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade Math proficiency rates were around 82%, significantly higher than the state averages. Additionally, Eastern Elementary School has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state, ranging from 9.3% to 16.1% over the past few years, and a student-teacher ratio of around 15-16, which is lower than the state average.

When compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Lexington Junior High School, Mt. Gilead Middle School, and Shelby Middle School, Eastern Elementary School consistently outperforms them in academic performance. This level of sustained excellence is impressive and suggests a strong educational program and dedicated staff. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, while lower than the state average, indicate that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and the school should continue to monitor and address any potential equity concerns.
