Summary:
ZIP code 44430 covers Leavittsburg, Ohio, where LaBrae Local operates four public schools serving grades K–12 — a complete pipeline from kindergarten through high school — with 999 students in total: Bascom Elementary School (K–2, 224 students), LaBrae Intermediate School (3–5, 246), LaBrae Middle School (6–8, 236), and LaBrae High School (9–12, 293). The district ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide with 2 stars, and the four schools are fairly evenly sized, with the high school the largest at about 29% of enrollment.
For parents comparing schools, LaBrae Intermediate School is the strongest academic signal: 3 stars in each of the last three years, above-state math in all three tested grades, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 14.1%, well below the district's 20.3%. LaBrae Middle School is improving — from 45th to 51st percentile and from 2 stars to 3 stars — with solid 8th grade science and gains in 7th grade math and English, though 6th grade English lags at 41.9% versus the state's 56.0%. LaBrae High School is the most polarized: a 96.4% graduation rate and above-state results in American Government, English II, and Biology, but Algebra I at 25.8% versus 61.6% statewide, plus the highest absenteeism at 26.3%. Bascom Elementary School serves K–2, so it has no state test scores or ranking; it has the highest student-teacher ratio (18.6) and highest per-student spending ($10,669 in 2018–19), while its free/reduced lunch figure is not reported and its absenteeism is 19.3%.
Overall, the elementary and middle grades show above-state math and real improvement, while the high school pairs strong graduation and humanities results with serious math weakness and the highest absenteeism. Results vary more by building than the district's 2-star rating suggests, so comparing individual schools is worthwhile.
