Lexington High School

Summary:

Lexington High School is a public high school serving 746 students in grades 9-12 in Lexington, Ohio, which is part of the Lexington Local school district. The school consistently performs well academically, with significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state average across various subjects. Lexington High School also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.5% to 98.6% over the past few years, well above the state average.

Lexington High School's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, often ranking in the top 25% of Ohio high schools for these groups. The school also ranks in the top 10% of Ohio high schools for its performance with special education students, indicating strong support and resources for this population. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2019-2020 to 19.8% in 2022-2023, which is an area that warrants further investigation.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Crestline High School, Lexington High School consistently outperforms them in academic metrics, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance. This highlights Lexington High School's strengths, but also suggests the need to continue addressing the unique needs of all students, including those in the gifted and talented program, where the school's ranking is relatively lower.

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.
