Lakota East High School

Summary:

Lakota East High School is a public high school located in Liberty Township, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 2,552 students. The school is part of the Lakota Local School District, which is ranked 181 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakota East High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Ohio, with a statewide ranking between 74 and 274 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on Ohio State Tests is significantly higher than the state average across all subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. While the school's math test scores, such as Geometry and Algebra I, are also above the state average, they are not as significantly higher as the other subjects. Lakota East High School has maintained a consistently high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.2% to 95.8% over the past five years, which is well above the state average.

The student population at Lakota East High School is predominantly White (67.99%), with significant representation from African American (10.27%), Hispanic (8.27%), and Asian (8.27%) students. The school's performance on state tests is generally strong across all racial subgroups, with African American and White students ranking in the top quartile of Ohio high schools, and Asian and Hispanic students also performing well. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.2% in 2019-2020 to 32.1% in 2020-2021, likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In comparison, the nearby career-focused schools, such as Scarlet Oaks Cdc and Butler Technical Natural Science Center, have a more diverse student population and a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but do not have the same level of academic performance as Lakota East High School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
