Summary
Amanda-Clearcreek Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Amanda-Clearcreek Local District, located in Amanda, OH. The school has 315 students and is ranked 439 out of 828 school districts in Ohio, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 265 out of 1038 Ohio middle schools in 2016-2017 to 490 out of 1036 in 2024-2025, it has a notable strength in its Algebra I performance, with over 90% of students proficient or better, outperforming the state average. However, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.5% to 25.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance is particularly weak for male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, with these groups ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools.
When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Bloom-Carroll Middle School, which is only 10.3 miles away, Amanda-Clearcreek Middle School generally performs worse on key metrics such as statewide ranking, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. Despite the district's higher-than-average spending per student of $10,468 in 2018-2019, the academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the level of investment, suggesting the school may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, attendance policies, and support for struggling student groups to improve its overall academic performance and student outcomes.
