Summary:
Middle schools in Garfield Heights City Schools serve grades 6 through 8 at just one campus, Garfield Heights Middle School, which enrolls 541 students at 12000 Maple Leaf Dr in Garfield Heights, Ohio, and because it is the district's only middle school, its results essentially are the district's middle-grade results.
On state measures, the school ranks near the bottom of Ohio middle schools: 951st of 1,046 in 2025–26, the 9th percentile, with 0 stars. The district ranks 720th of 773, the 7th percentile, also 0 stars. Every tested subject and grade sits below the state average, with gaps of roughly 31 to 43 percentage points. Math is the clearest weakness, averaging about 11.9% proficient against roughly 52.3% statewide, and the lowest single result was 7th grade math at 10.3%. English language arts moved in two directions: grades 6 and 7 improved by 5.8 and 5.2 points, reaching 24.8% and 26.6%, while grade 8 slipped 4.8 points to 18.1%. Eighth grade science had the steepest decline, falling from 33.3% to 22.2%. Overall, the school's simple average dipped from about 19.1% to 18.2% while the state average rose, so the gap widened.
Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: 63.8% at the school in 2025–26, slightly above the district's 61.9%, meaning roughly 6 in 10 students. The student-teacher ratio is 10.4 for 2024–25, which is not unusually high on its own. Per-student spending of $6,289 is from 2018–19, too old to explain current outcomes. Free or reduced-price lunch data is not available here, and there are no other middle schools in the district to compare against.
