Summary:
ZIP code 44638 contains just one school — Lakeville Elementary School, an elementary school in Lakeville, Ohio serving grades 3–5 with about 100 students, part of the West Holmes Local district.
Because there is only one school here, there is nothing to compare it against locally, so the useful comparison is with its own district and with Ohio as a whole. In 2025–2026, Lakeville Elementary School scored above the state average in 5 of the 7 reported subject-and-grade areas, including 5th grade English Language Arts at 78.8% proficient, 5th grade math, 4th grade math, 3rd grade math, and 5th grade science. Yet it trailed West Holmes Local in all 7 areas — a pattern of doing well by state standards while lagging behind district peers. Attendance stands out as a genuine bright spot: the school's chronic absenteeism rate was 7.2%, roughly half the district's 14.3%.
Two areas deserve attention. Fourth grade English Language Arts fell sharply, from 65.6% proficient in 2024–2025 to 48.3% in 2025–2026 — a 17.3-point drop that left the school well below both the district and the state. Fifth grade science also slid 18.2 points, to 63.6%. Over two reporting cycles the school's overall rank fell from the 77th percentile (4 stars) to the 51st percentile (3 stars), though it still holds 3 stars in 2025–2026 and sits in the same 3-star tier as its district. With only about 30–35 students per grade, a handful of students can swing these percentages, so single-year changes should be read with caution. Context figures such as the 45% free/reduced lunch rate, a 16.6:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $10,952 (from 2018–2019) are dated or limited, and the clearest things to watch are the rank trend and 4th grade ELA.
