Summary:
Buckeye Local contains exactly one middle school in this data — Buckeye Local Junior High, located at 10692 State Highway 150 in Rayland, Ohio, serving grades 6–8 with 299 students, within the Buckeye Local district. The district is ranked 510 of 773 in Ohio (34th percentile, 2 stars), while the junior high is ranked 675 of 1046 for 2025–2026 (35th percentile, 2 stars) with a student-teacher ratio of 16.6.
The standout strength is Algebra I End-of-Course performance: 90.5% of students scored proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 42.2% for the district and 61.6% for the state — a 15.5 point gain from 75% the prior year. Eighth grade also improved across every reported subject, with math jumping from 19.2% to 43% and science from 47.2% to 57.6%, putting science just 3.6 points below the state's 61.2%. Sixth grade math rose from 31.3% to 35.9%, and 6th grade ELA from 38.4% to 47.8%. These gains show real momentum in the upper grades and in early literacy.
Math remains the biggest concern. In 2025–2026 the school trails the state in every grade-level math test: 6th grade 35.9% vs 56.2%, 7th grade 25.7% vs 48.6%, and 8th grade 43% vs 52%. Seventh grade math is the weakest result and the only math grade that declined, dropping 9.9 points, while 7th grade ELA was essentially flat at 50.9%. Chronic absenteeism is another headwind at 44.1%, above the district's 39.5%. The school's ranking improved modestly from 714 of 1036 to 675 of 1046, but sits well below its 2023–2024 mark of 466 of 1046, 55th percentile, 3 stars.
