Marlington Local Schools

The Marlington Local School District serves three townships in eastern Stark County: Marlboro, Lexington and Washington. The district name was derived from the combination of the three townships that make up the district. Each of the townships has an elementary school whose students move up to the middle and high school campus centrally located on Moulin Avenue.

In 2007, the district hired former high school principal Jim Nicodemo as superintendent. Nicodemo's stated goals for the district are to achieve academic success of students, improve school and community relations and maintain fiscal responsibility to the taxpayers of the district.

The district first received the Ohio Department of Education
"Excellent" rating on its report card for the 2006-2007 school year. From 2007-09, the district continued earning an excellent rating with the report showing that the district met 29 of the 30 state performance indicators and achieved a performance index score of 101 out of a possible 120 points. Superintendent Nicodemo cites the hard work of the staff and the students for the continued excellent rating.

Lexington Elementary school is one of six schools in the county to have been designated as a "School of Promise" by the Ohio Department of Education. In order to achieve the designation, the school must have a poverty rate of 40 percent and meet or exceed the state standards in reading or mathematics. Lexington was the only school in the county to meet the standards for both of the criteria.

The district maintains a full featured web site at www.marlingtonlocal.org. The site features current news and upcoming events within the district along with information on each of the districts' schools. Detailed calendars of district events and happenings are also available on the site.

The district strives to adhere to its mission statement which says: "In collaboration with staff, community, parents and students, the Marlington Local School District will develop
lifelong learners who understand and apply knowledge, and demonstrate excellence in pursuing the highest standards
with effective intervention to challenge every student."
