Summary

Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School is a public charter middle school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 143 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School District, which is ranked 462 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools, with mixed performance on state tests. However, the school's African American students perform particularly well, ranking in the top 10-15% of Ohio middle schools for this subgroup. The school also serves a high proportion of English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide. Midnimo's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Columbus City Schools, but it lags behind some higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Horizon Science Academy Columbus Middle School.

One area of concern for Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 12.8% to 39.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending of $7,214 in 2018-2019 is also lower than the nearby Columbus City Schools, which spend around $9,000 per student on average. However, Midnimo's student-teacher ratio of 17.8 in 2023-2024 is higher than the nearby schools, which may indicate a need for additional teaching resources.
