Summary:
Wynford Middle School is the only middle school in Wynford Local, serving grades 6 through 8 to roughly 252 students on Holmes Center Rd in Bucyrus, with a student–teacher ratio of 17.1 for 2024-2025. Because its results on every grade 6–8 state test match the district's exactly, the school effectively is the district at the middle school level, so there is no cross-school comparison to make. The district ranks 254th of 773 statewide (67th percentile, 3 stars), while the middle school sits at the 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, up from the 53rd percentile the year before.
Algebra I is the headline result: 100% of test-takers were proficient in both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, against state rates of 59.4% and 61.6%, and above the district's 85.7%. Eighth grade is the other bright spot — math proficiency was 79% versus 52% statewide, and science 68.1% versus 61.2%, following 63.2% in 8th-grade math the prior year. Six of eight tested measures improved year over year, including 6th-grade math, which rose 15.4 points to essentially the state average (56.1% vs. 56.2%).
Seventh grade is the weak point. Math proficiency was 42.4% against 48.6% statewide, a 12.1-point drop from the year before, and 7th-grade ELA also slipped (61.2% vs. 62.7% state). Chronic absenteeism is 16.2% at the school versus 14.4% in the district — the one measure where the school trails its own district. Two gaps limit the picture: free/reduced lunch is not reported, so economic context cannot be assessed, and the $4,904 per-student spending figure dates to 2018-2019, too old to describe current resourcing.
