Summary:
New Miami Middle School is the only middle school serving grades 6–8 in the New Miami Local district, located at 600 Seven Mile Ave in Hamilton, Ohio, with 138 students — roughly 46 per grade — and a student–teacher ratio of 15.3. Because it is the district's entire middle level, the school's results are effectively the district's results, so any "school vs. district" comparison is the same number twice.
The most important thing for parents to know is that grade-level proficiency sits well below the state in nearly every subject. In 2025–2026, seven of eight tested areas trailed Ohio, with gaps ranging from about 14 points in 7th grade math to roughly 37 points in 8th grade math, the weakest result in the file at 15% proficient. The one bright spot is Algebra I, where the school beat the state by double digits (76.9%, and 90.9% the year before) and far outdistanced the district's 46.7% — but those percentages match very small test groups, so this reflects a small accelerated cohort rather than the school as a whole. 7th grade English is the only grade-level subject at or above the state, at 63.3%. By contrast, 8th grade science fell from 54.5% to 27.3%, and 8th grade math dropped from 39.4% to 15%, both far steeper than any state movement. Sixth-grade math has held steady near 30%, a persistent gap of 21–26 points. The school's ranking slipped from the 38th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to the 26th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026.
Two other figures matter. Chronic absenteeism is 48.7% — nearly half the student body — and above the district's 44.7%. And because each grade has only about 46 students, a single student is worth roughly 2 percentage points, so year-to-year swings of 15–30 points can be noise rather than real change. Parents weighing this school should focus on attendance and 8th grade math and science as the clearest areas needing attention.
