Lakewood High School

Summary:

Lakewood High School is a public high school located in Hebron, Ohio, serving 480 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lakewood Local School District, which is ranked 381 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakewood High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 92% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the racial diversity of nearby schools like Career and Technology Educational Centers. However, the school has shown strong academic performance, with students outperforming the state average in most End-of-Course (EOC) exams, and maintaining high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 89.9% to 95.3% in recent years, which are above the state average. Lakewood High School has also performed well in serving its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations, ranking in the top 25% and top 30% of Ohio high schools, respectively, in recent years.

Despite these strengths, Lakewood High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.6% in 2019-2020 to 44.8% in 2021-2022, which is a concerning trend that the school and district should investigate and address. Additionally, the school has struggled to serve its gifted and talented student population, ranking in the bottom 30% of Ohio high schools in this category for the past three school years. These findings, along with the school's racial homogeneity, may indicate potential equity issues that the school and district should further investigate and address.

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.
