Summary:
Antwerp Local has just one middle school — Antwerp Local Middle School — serving grades 6–8 and roughly 142 students in Antwerp, Ohio. It is a strong performer statewide. In 2025–26 it ranked 68th out of 1,046 Ohio middle schools, the 93rd percentile, and earned 5 stars. That is clear, steady improvement: 194th of 1,046 (81st percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–24, then 124th of 1,036 (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–25. The Antwerp Local district overall ranks 197th of 773 (75th percentile, 4 stars), so the middle school stands out even within its own district.
Academics are consistently above state averages. Every reported 2025–26 Ohio State Test result — science, math, English language arts and Algebra I — beat the Ohio proficiency rate. Average grade-level proficiency was about 82% versus roughly 56% statewide, a gap of about 26 percentage points. Seventh grade is the standout: math at 89.1% (40.5 points above the state) and ELA at 92.7% (30 points above). Algebra I reached 100% versus 72.9% for the district and 61.6% statewide, though that likely reflects a small group of test-takers. The relative soft spot is 6th grade math, which fell from 83.0% to 67.3%, still above the state's 56.2%.
Other indicators look solid. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 14.2, and 2025–26 chronic absenteeism is 11.2% — about 16 students — slightly better than the district's 11.8%. Per-student spending of $7,524 comes from 2018–19 and is too dated to reflect current resources, and free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so socioeconomic context is unavailable. Note also that with only one middle school here, there are no local peers to compare against, and the small enrollment means year-to-year percentages can swing noticeably. For grades 6–8, district and school test results are identical, since the district has only this one middle school.
