Summary:
Gallipolis City, Ohio is home to a single middle school, Gallia Academy Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools over the past three years, it has shown some strengths, such as a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.
Academically, Gallia Academy Middle School's performance on state tests is mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in several subject areas, including mathematics and English language arts. However, the school performs relatively well in 8th grade science, with proficiency rates around 50-60%, close to the state average. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at around 58.5%, and its below-average per-student spending of $7,399, suggest that the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement.
Another area of concern for Gallia Academy Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.2% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Addressing attendance and engagement issues could be a priority for the school as it works to improve its overall academic performance and outcomes for its students.
