Middle Schools in Elyria City Schools

The Elyria City Schools district in Ohio is home to three middle schools: Eastern Heights Middle School, Northwood Middle School, and Westwood Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and face several academic challenges, with the district overall underperforming the state averages in test scores.

Among the three middle schools, Northwood Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and better test scores than the other two schools in the district. Northwood outperformed the district and state averages in subjects like science, math, and English language arts, and had the highest proficiency rates in Algebra I end-of-course exams. In contrast, Westwood Middle School achieved a remarkable 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

However, all three middle schools in the Elyria City Schools district face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and low test scores compared to state averages. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 99% at Eastern Heights Middle School and Northwood Middle School. These factors likely contribute to the overall academic struggles faced by the district's middle schools.
