Summary

Lakota High School is a public high school located in Kansas, OH, serving 285 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lakota Local District, which is ranked 387 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakota High School has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.0% to 98.6% over the past few years, which is above the state average. However, the school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.4% to 25.1% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance on Ohio State Tests varies across subject areas, with the school performing well in American History and Biology but struggling in Algebra I and Geometry, with proficiency rates below the state average. Lakota High School's performance for Gifted and Talented students is exceptional, with the school ranking 2nd out of 538 Ohio high schools in the 2017-2018 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, Lakota High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than Elmwood High School and Fremont Ross High School. However, Old Fort High School and Hopewell-Loudon Local High School, which are also nearby, consistently outperform Lakota High School across various metrics. Lakota High School's significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 36.3% to 44.21% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, may contribute to the school's performance challenges in certain subject areas.
