Summary:
Zip code 61483 has one listed middle school, Stark County Junior High School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 140 students, so it is the only school available for a local overview. Its strongest academic concern is all-grades mathematics: in SY 2025–2026, 22% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide, a gap of 17 percentage points.
The school’s standout result is eighth-grade science, where 62% were proficient in SY 2025–2026, 10 percentage points above the state’s 52%. All-grades ELA was much closer to the state: 55% at the school versus 56% statewide, just 1 point lower. These results identify science as a relative strength and mathematics as the clearest weakness; there is no other listed school to rank above or below it locally.
Results have moved in different directions: from SY 2024–2025 to SY 2025–2026, all-grades ELA rose 10 percentage points to 55%, while mathematics fell 2 points to 22%; eighth-grade science rose 22 points to 62%. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and places it at the 38th percentile, down from the 51st percentile in SY 2023–2024. The ranking is another point of context, not a consistent reflection of every subject’s recent results. The school reported an 11.2:1 student–teacher ratio and 56% free/reduced lunch eligible in SY 2024–2025. Because the list contains only one school, it cannot show local school-to-school differences; the grade 7 mathematics score is suppressed.
