Summary

Lexington High School is a public high school serving 679 students in grades 9-12 in Lexington, Ohio, which is part of the Lexington Local school district. Over the past 10 years, this school has consistently ranked in the top half of Ohio high schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a current statewide ranking of 209 out of 855 schools.

Lexington High School stands out for its exceptional academic performance. The school has maintained very high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.5% to 98.6% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the state average. Students also perform well above state averages on Ohio's End-of-Course exams, with 83.7% proficiency in American Government, 82.4% in American History, and 80.9% in Biology, compared to state averages of 72.6%, 71.2%, and 65.4% respectively.

While Lexington High School's overall performance is impressive, it also outperforms many nearby schools in key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. For example, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% in 2024-2025 is much lower than the state average and nearby schools like Mansfield Senior High (28.2%) and Buckeye Community School (61.4%). This suggests Lexington High School may benefit from factors like stronger funding, more experienced teachers, or a more engaged student and parent community.
