Lakota Elementary School

Lakota Elementary School serves 404 students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade in Kansas, Ohio. The school earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — built on an academic score of 8.9 and a standout growth score of 9.7. These two scores together describe something rarer than a single strong number: a school with high absolute performance and strong forward progress for its students.

Growth at 9.7 means students here advance beyond what their baseline would predict, which is a harder signal to sustain than a high raw average. Among Ohio's 1,742 elementary schools, Lakota ranks #63, placing it comfortably in the top 4% statewide. Across all 3,440 Ohio public schools at every grade level, it holds at #103 — outperforming 97% of the state.

Lakota operates as a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1. Within Kansas, it ranks first among three public schools. For families comparing elementary options in this part of Ohio, this school's performance profile is consistent and well above the norm across every major dimension.

Located in a rural area, Lakota Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
