Summary:
The middle school landscape in Liberty Center Local consists of one school, Liberty Center Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 293 students in a district rated 5 stars and ranked 62nd of 773 statewide. The data includes three years of school rank history, two years of Ohio State Tests results, chronic absenteeism for 2025–2026, a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending for 2018–2019. Because this is the only middle school in the district, most grade 5–8 school and district test results are identical; Algebra I is the main exception.
Academically, Liberty Center Middle School is a consistent standout: 5 stars in 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026, with state ranks of 51st of 1,046, 22nd of 1,036, and 34th of 1,046, placing it in the top 5% of Ohio middle schools each year. Its test proficiency is far above state averages across science, mathematics, and English language arts. In 2025–2026, the smallest gaps above state were +23.2 and +23.5 points, while Algebra I was 100% proficient, compared with 90.3% for the district; in 2024–2025, Algebra I was also 100%, versus 88.8% for the district. Scores dipped slightly in 2025–2026 from a very high base, especially 8th grade ELA, science, and math, but remained well above state averages. Seventh grade math was the lowest math grade at 81.8%, yet it improved 2.9 points and stayed 33.2 points above the state average.
For parents, the school’s context is also notable. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 17.2, and per-student spending was $10,676 in 2018–2019. Free/reduced lunch data is blank, so economic context is unknown, and the spending figure is dated. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 6.2% at the school, lower than the district’s 7.7%. Overall, Liberty Center Middle School offers a highly ranked, high-performing middle school experience with proficiency far above Ohio averages, a perfect Algebra I record in the available years, and the main recent watch item being a modest 2025–2026 decline from an elite baseline.
