Summary:
Conneaut Area City has one middle school, Conneaut Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 361 students at 230 Gateway Avenue in Conneaut, Ohio. Because it is the district's only middle school, there are no local middle schools to compare it against; the best benchmarks available are the district's own results and statewide averages.
The school's trajectory is positive. In 2025–2026 it ranked 513 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 51st percentile with 3 stars, up from 45th percentile and 2 stars the year before. It improved in seven of eight comparable test areas. Math gains were largest: Math 8 rose 10.9 points and Math 7 rose 9.0 points, lifting Math 7 to 53.2% proficient, above the state's 48.6%. ELA 7 is stronger still at 67.2% versus 62.7% statewide, and Science 8 is above state at 66.4% versus 61.2%. Algebra I stands out at 100% proficient against 61.6% statewide — though that exam typically draws a smaller, selected group of advanced students, so it should not be read as a whole-school measure.
Two areas need attention. Chronic absenteeism was 27.8% in 2025–2026, slightly above the district's 26.8% — nearly three in ten students. Academically, 8th grade Math remains the biggest gap at 44.2% proficient versus 52.0% statewide, and 6th grade trails state in both Math (52.1% vs. 56.2%) and ELA (49.0% vs. 56.0%); ELA 6 was the only subject to decline year over year. Note that the district overall ranks 503 of 773 districts (35th percentile, 2 stars), while the middle school itself ranks above average among Ohio middle schools. Per-student spending shown is from 2018–2019, and free/reduced-price lunch data is not reported.
