Summary:
Middle schools in the Wapakoneta City district serve about 833 students across two schools: Wapakoneta Middle School, which covers grades 5–7 with 614 students, and Wapakoneta Junior High, which serves grade 8 with 219 students. The middle school holds roughly 74% of that enrollment and the junior high about 26%. The district overall ranks 326 of 773 Ohio districts, at the 58th percentile with 3 stars, but the two schools' own results differ noticeably.
Wapakoneta Middle School is the stronger performer. Its 2025–26 rank is 235 of 1,046 — the 78th percentile with 4 stars — above the district's 58th percentile, and it has held at 4 stars across 2023–24, 2024–25 and 2025–26. Its best results are in math: 6th-grade math at 77.5% proficient (21.3 points above state) and 7th-grade math at 68.3% (19.7 points above state), with 5th-grade science at 73%, 10.3 points above state. Chronic absenteeism is 12.3%, below the district's 15.4%. Note that some scores slipped year over year, including 5th-grade science, 5th-grade math, and 7th-grade math and ELA.
Wapakoneta Junior High has a split profile. Its Algebra I end-of-course results were 100% proficient in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, far above district and state, and Geometry was 100% in 2024–25 — though these likely reflect a small advanced-math group rather than all 8th graders. Full-grade results are closer to the middle: science 8 at 67.7% and math 8 at 57.9% are above state, while ELA 8 at 57% is slightly below. All three declined from 2024–25. Its rank fell from 265 of 1,036 (74th percentile, 4 stars) to 426 of 1,046 (59th percentile, 3 stars), and chronic absenteeism is 18.2%, above the district and the middle school.
