The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 8.9%, slightly below the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, suggesting a relatively favorable classroom environment. However, the school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 42.05%.
While Chillicothe Middle has shown some fluctuations in its academic performance over the past few years, the school has made a significant improvement, ranking 105 out of 438 middle schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's strengths in mathematics and science could be an area of focus and potential best practices that could be shared with other schools in the district.
