Summary:
Fredericktown Local in Ohio has a single middle school: Fredericktown Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 280 students. Because it is the only middle school in the district, its grade-level scores are the same as the district's in every reported grade. There is no other local middle school to compare it with, so the useful comparison is against Ohio as a whole.
That comparison is flattering. The school scored above the state average in every tested subject in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 — 16 of 16 comparisons. Algebra I stands out sharply at 100% proficient in both years, far above the state (61.6% in 2025–2026 and 59.4% the year before), though it is typically taken by a small advanced group. Grade 6 Math (76.1%) was 19.9 points above the state, and Grade 8 Science hit 80% in 2024–2025, 17 points above the state. The caution: results slipped in most subjects. Grade 8 Math fell 12.1 points, Science 13.3, and Grade 7 ELA 11.7, while Grade 6 improved in both Math (+2.9) and ELA (+7.5). The average margin over the state narrowed from +19.0 points to +12.6, and the school's rank moved from 214 of 1,046 (80th percentile, 4 stars) to 330 of 1,046 (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026.
Two things stand out for parents. Grade 7 Math is the soft spot: at 52% it is the lowest current score, the thinnest margin over the state (+3.4 points), and it dropped 6.3 points. Meanwhile Grade 6 is the strength and the only grade that improved in both subjects — worth watching whether that strength follows the class upward. Chronic absenteeism is 12.7%, essentially matching the district's 12.5%, or about one in eight students. Note that free/reduced lunch is not reported and spending data is from 2018–2019, so context on resources and equity is limited.
