Summary:
Middle schools in Edison Local consist of a single school: Edison Junior High School in Richmond, Ohio, serving grades 7–8 with 219 students, so there are no in-district middle-school peers to compare against — the useful comparisons are to the district, the state, and the school's own prior years.
The school's results are sharply mixed. Its advanced and end-of-course work is a clear strength: 93.2% of students were proficient in American History and 76.7% in Algebra I, both well above district and state levels. Eighth-grade results are solid, with Math at 54.8%, Science at 63.4%, and English Language Arts at 57.7%, all close to or slightly above state averages. Seventh grade is the biggest concern: only 13.3% were proficient in Math and 24.4% in ELA in 2025–26, roughly 35 and 38 points below the state. A year earlier, that grade's ELA proficiency was 61.5%, so the drop is dramatic. In fact, the 2024–25 seventh graders improved in Math as eighth graders (40.4% to 54.8%), suggesting the new seventh-grade class is pulling overall results down. Chronic absenteeism is 21.3%, notably higher than the district's 14.7%, and the reported 36.5:1 student-teacher ratio is high for a school this size.
The trend in school ratings is downward: Edison Junior High School fell from the 76th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–24 to the 46th percentile with 2 stars in 2024–25, and to the 35th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26. That places it below Edison Local, which sits at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars overall. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, and spending figures date to 2018–19, so equity and resource context is limited.
