Miami Trace Local

Miami Trace Local serves roughly 2,497 students across three schools — Miami Trace Elementary School (K–5), Miami Trace Middle School (6–8), and Miami Trace High School (9–12) — and the district ranks 271st of 773 Ohio districts, in the 65th percentile with 3 stars. The elementary school is the largest, enrolling 45.6% of students, followed by the high school at 29.9% and the middle school at 24.5%.

The Miami Trace Middle School is the district's brightest current story: 4 stars and the 76th percentile among Ohio middle schools, up from the 62nd percentile the year before. Its Algebra I End of Course score of 100% proficient is the highest figure in the data, far above the 61.6% statewide, and 8th grade science (79.7% vs. 61.2%) and 6th grade math (75.0% vs. 56.2%) are also well above state. The Miami Trace Elementary School is a steady 3-star school in the 63rd percentile with the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 10.4%; its strongest results are 5th grade science (77.8% vs. 62.7%) and 3rd grade math (77.5% vs. 62.1%), while 4th grade ELA sits only slightly above state (62.2% vs. 61.8%).

The Miami Trace High School is trending the other direction, slipping from the 71st percentile and 4 stars to the 50th percentile and 3 stars — now the median among Ohio high schools — despite a strong 96.6% graduation rate. Biology (80.0% vs. 67.0%) and American History (82.2% vs. 73.2%) are solid, but American Government is the only listed school test below state (65.5% vs. 71.6%), and Geometry is low in absolute terms at 45.8%. Across the 21 listed school-level tests in 2025–2026, 20 were above the state average. Chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level — 10.4% elementary, 15.1% middle, 16.4% high — versus the district's 13.1%, a headwind worth watching at the secondary level.
