Summary:
Middle schools in the Struthers City district of Ohio come down to a single campus: Struthers Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 8 with 495 students at 800 5th St, Struthers. Because it is the only middle-level school in Struthers City, the school's results and the district's middle-level results are essentially the same numbers — the one exception being Algebra I, an exam high schoolers also take, which is why the district figure there is about 35 points lower than the school's.
The school's standout result is Algebra I: 96.3% proficient in 2025-2026, well above the 61.6% state figure and up from 88.0% the year before. That success does not carry across the rest of the building. Ten of eleven tested areas sit below the state average, with a typical gap of roughly 7 points. Science is the clearest weak spot — 8th grade science at 42.9% versus 61.2% statewide, and 5th grade science at 50.8% versus 62.7%, both down sharply from the prior year. Seventh grade is the weakest general-education group, with math at 35.5% and ELA at 53.6%, both below state and both declining. Overall the school ranks at the 40th percentile with 2 stars, down from the 49th percentile in 2024-2025.
Two context numbers matter for families. Chronic absenteeism stands at 32.2% — roughly one in three students misses enough school to affect learning — and it is a district-wide condition, not a single-classroom problem. The student-teacher ratio is 15.4, about 32 teachers for 495 students. Keep in mind that per-student spending of $8,819 comes from 2018-2019 and is badly out of date, and free/reduced lunch data is not reported at all, so poverty context is unavailable. In short: a below-state school with an excellent advanced math track and real work to do in science and 7th grade.
