Summary:
Diamond, Ohio is home to exactly one school: Southeast Junior High School, a middle school serving grades 6–8 with 334 students, located at 8540 Tallmadge Rd and part of the Southeast Local district. Because there are no elementary, high, or alternative schools in this area's data, families here see a single-school profile rather than a multi-school comparison. The school is rated 2 stars and ranked 546 of 1,046 Ohio schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 48th percentile — closely aligned with its district, which sits at the 47th percentile with 2 stars. That is a modest step up from the 45th percentile in 2024–2025, though still below the 51st percentile and 3-star rating the school earned in 2023–2024.
Academically, the standout result is Algebra I: 92.0% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, far above the district's 50.9% and the state's 61.6%, following 100.0% in 2024–2025. Since middle-school Algebra I typically enrolls accelerated students rather than a full grade, that figure likely reflects a select group. Other bright spots include 8th grade science at 70.5%, above both district and state and up 3.5 points year-over-year; 8th grade math at 60.5%, above both benchmarks for a second straight year; and 6th grade math, which jumped 15.1 points from 44.9% to 60.0% and now exceeds the state's 56.2%.
The clearest weaknesses are 7th grade math and English language arts. Only 32.0% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025–2026, 16.6 points below the state's 48.6%, and ELA came in below the state in every tested grade in both years, including 8th grade at 47.3% versus 58.3%. Chronic absenteeism is 28.7%, above the district's 26.1%, which may compound those struggles. For context, 47.31% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio is 14.8, and the reported per-student spending of $10,755 dates to 2018–2019. With only two years of test data, families should read these results as trends within one school.
