Summary:
Sandusky Middle School is the only middle school serving Sandusky City, so it educates all of the district's 7th and 8th graders — 418 students at 2130 Hayes Ave # B, Sandusky, OH 44870. Because there is just one school, there are no in-district comparisons to make; the school is best measured against its district and the state. The Sandusky City district is ranked 671 out of 773 Ohio districts, placing it in the 13th percentile with 1 star.
Academically, the picture is mixed. The standout result is Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency at 100%, well above the district's 41.3% and the state's 61.6% — though the record does not say how many students took that test, so it should be read with caution. Grade-level results are far weaker. In 2025–2026, 7th grade math was 29.0% proficient and 8th grade math 32.6%, against state rates of 48.6% and 52.0%. English language arts is the weakest area: 38.8% for 7th grade and 31.1% for 8th grade, versus 62.7% and 58.3% statewide. Science slipped from 53.0% to 45.4%, widening the gap with the state from 10.0 to 15.8 points. Seventh grade math was the only grade-level test to improve, up 5.1 points.
On other measures, the school has been a 1-star school for three years, ranking 789 out of 1046 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 — the 25th percentile, down slightly from the 28th percentile the year before. Chronic absenteeism is 34.7%, a bit above the district's 33.6%, meaning roughly one in three students is chronically absent. The student-teacher ratio is 14.7, and per-student spending is listed as $7,139, though that figure is from 2018–2019. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported.
