Summary:
Tallmadge City is a three-school Ohio district serving about 2,507 students: Tallmadge Elementary School (K–5, 1,088 students), Tallmadge Middle School (6–8, 614 students), and Tallmadge High School (8–12, 805 students), with no alternative school listed. The district ranks 288 out of 773 Ohio districts — the 63rd percentile, with 3 stars.
Tallmadge Middle School is the academic standout: the only 4-star school, ranked 288 of 1,046 (72nd percentile), with steady rank history and 2025–26 scores above the state average in every tested subject, including Algebra I at 100% — far above the district and state. Tallmadge High School graduates 98.0% of students and beats state averages in most End of Course exams, including American History (83.0% vs. 73.2%), English II (75.6% vs. 62.7%), and Geometry (54.4% vs. 43.3%). But its rank slipped from 79th percentile (4 stars) to 62nd (3 stars), and chronic absenteeism is 20.7% — the highest in the district and well above the district's 14.8%. Its Algebra I result (67.6%) sits below the district's 76.1%, which likely blends middle-school test-takers.
Tallmadge Elementary School enrolls the most students and has the best attendance (10.1% chronic absenteeism), but the greatest resource pressure: the highest free/reduced lunch rate (35.48%), highest student-teacher ratio (20.5), and lowest per-student spending ($10,914). Its results are mixed — 4th grade math (74.9%) and 5th grade ELA (78.4%) beat the state, while 3rd grade math (55.4%) and ELA (60.1%) fall below state and declined from the prior year.
