Summary

Medina Middle School is a public middle school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 405 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which is ranked 688 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Medina Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Medina Middle School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, ranging from 11.3% to 31.4% across different subjects and grade levels. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 52.0% to 60.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance lags behind nearby schools, such as Woodward Park Middle School and Dominion Middle School, which have higher academic proficiency and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

When compared to nearby public charter schools, such as Horizon Science Academy Columbus Middle School and Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School, Medina Middle School's performance is also lower. These charter schools, while still facing challenges, generally outperform Medina Middle School in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's struggles appear to be multifaceted, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and implementing targeted strategies to improve academic achievement across all student groups should be top priorities for the school and district leadership.
