Middle Schools in Niles City

Niles City, Ohio is home to a single middle school, Niles Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's performance is generally below the state average, it faces some significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and a student population with a high percentage of economic disadvantage.

Niles Middle School is ranked 544 out of 1,036 Ohio middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state tests are below the state average in most subjects and grade levels, with the exception of Algebra I, where the school had a 100% proficiency rate. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Niles Middle School does have some positive attributes, such as a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is slightly lower than the state average. The school also spends $10,132 per student, which is slightly above the state average. However, the high percentage of students (71.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. To improve the school's outcomes, the Niles City district and school leadership may need to implement targeted strategies to address these issues and support the needs of the student population.
