Middle Schools in Brunswick City

Brunswick City, Ohio, has exactly one middle school: Brunswick Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 1,375 students at 1483 Pearl Rd, and it is part of the Brunswick City district. Because there is only one middle school in this area, parents should compare it with Ohio state averages and with its own year-over-year progress rather than with other local middle schools.

The school is a standout against the state. In 2025–2026, it ranked 223rd of 1,046 schools, placing in the 79th percentile with a 4-star rating, up from 271st and the 74th percentile in 2023–2024. It scored above the Ohio state average in every reported subject and grade. The strongest results are in advanced math: Geometry End of Course at 100% proficient versus 43.3% statewide, and Algebra I at 98% versus 61.6% statewide. These are likely advanced or accelerated course populations, so they are not schoolwide averages. Other standouts include 8th Grade ELA at 76.1% versus 58.3% statewide, 6th Grade Math at 73.9% versus 56.2%, and 7th Grade Math at 68.1% versus 48.6%. The school’s traditional grade-level average is 70.4%, about 14 percentage points above the state average of 56.4%.

Year over year, six of nine reported tests improved. The biggest gains were 6th Grade Math (+8.3 percentage points), 8th Grade Math (+7.0), and 8th Grade ELA (+6.2). Small declines occurred in 8th Grade Science (-1.4) and 7th Grade ELA (-2.1). The main watch item is 8th Grade Math, which at 58.4% is the lowest traditional grade-level result, though it still beats the state’s 52.0% and improved by 7.0 points. Chronic absenteeism is 16.4%, compared with 14.0% for the district. Other context: 29.45% free/reduced lunch, a 17.6 student-teacher ratio, and $6,818 per-student spending in 2018–2019. Overall, this is a large, high-performing, 4-star middle school with strong advanced math, strong 8th grade ELA, and an improving rank, while 8th grade math and absenteeism are areas to monitor.
