East Knox Local

The East Knox Local school district in Ohio is home to two strong-performing schools that serve students from elementary through high school. East Knox Elementary School and East Knox Junior/Senior High School consistently outperform state averages on Ohio's standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 43.9% to 84.4% across different grade levels and subject areas.

Both schools maintain relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, around 13.9% and 13.7%, respectively, indicating a focus on student attendance and engagement. The schools also have student-teacher ratios that are close to the state average, with 18.7 students per teacher at the elementary school and 17.4 students per teacher at the junior/senior high school. While the student populations are predominantly White, the schools do have some racial diversity, with small percentages of African American, Hispanic, and other minority students.

Economically, the schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates of 37.15% at the elementary school and 44.1% at the junior/senior high school. Despite these challenges, the schools have consistently earned strong rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger, with the elementary school receiving a 2-3 star rating and the junior/senior high school earning a 2-star rating, both placing them in the top half of Ohio schools in their respective grade levels. These findings suggest that the East Knox Local school district is committed to providing a high-quality education to all of its students, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status.
