Summary:
Danbury Local has a single middle school, Danbury Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 115 students in Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio. Because it is the only middle school in the district, its results are also the district's middle-school results, and there are no local peers to compare it against. It stands out statewide: in 2025–26 the school ranked 91st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools, placing it in the 91st percentile with 5 stars, while Danbury Local ranked 60th of 773 districts, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars.
Academically, the school improved noticeably. It moved from 4 stars and the 74th–75th percentile in 2023–24 and 2024–25 to 5 stars in 2025–26, climbing 175 ranking positions in a single year. Every comparable subject and grade tested better in 2025–26 than in 2024–25, with the biggest jumps in Science 8 (+17.9 percentage points), Math 6 (+15.7), Math 7 (+15.1), and ELA 8 (+14.3). In 2025–26, every grade-level Ohio State Tests result was above the state average, by margins ranging from +16.0 to +33.2 points; Math 7 showed the widest gap, at 81.8% proficient versus 48.6% statewide. Algebra I End of Course was reported at 100% proficient, compared with 85.7% in the district and 61.6% statewide.
One relative watch point is attendance: chronic absenteeism stands at 14.2% at the school versus 10.2% in the district in 2025–26, roughly 39% higher. Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 16.4 in 2024–25, which implies about 7 teachers for 115 students, and per-student spending of $18,579, a figure from 2018–19. Free/reduced lunch data is unknown in this dataset. With only about 115 students across three grades, each class is roughly 30–40 students, so individual percentages — particularly a small cohort such as Algebra I — can shift with just a few students.
