Allen East Local

The Allen East Local school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Allen East Elementary School, Allen East Middle School, and Allen East High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some notable challenges related to socioeconomic status and academic performance in certain areas.

Allen East Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranked in the top 30% of Ohio middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 84.5% of 5th graders and 81.8% of 8th graders proficient or better in Science, and 100% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average. In contrast, Allen East Elementary School and Allen East High School also perform well, but have some areas where they lag behind the state averages, such as 3rd and 4th-grade math and ELA at the elementary school.

The high school stands out for its strong 4-year graduation rate of 91.2% and solid performance in American Government and American History end-of-course exams. However, the school also has a very high rate of 98.91% free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This, coupled with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across the district, suggests that the schools may be facing challenges in addressing the specific needs of their student body. Overall, the Allen East Local school district appears to have some strengths, particularly at the middle school level, but also faces areas for improvement to ensure all students are set up for success.
