Summary
Alliance Middle School serves 584 students in grades 6–8 in Alliance, Ohio, as part of the Alliance City district, which ranks 625th of 773 Ohio districts (19th percentile). The school ranked 764th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–26 — the 27th percentile, 1 star. Its rank has slipped steadily, from the 38th percentile in 2021–22 to 37th, 35th, 32nd, and 27th in 2025–26, a four-year decline that returns it close to its 2018–19 position. Among nearby middle schools, only Crenshaw Middle School ranks lower.
Proficiency is below the state average in every core subject except Algebra I. Science 8 is 44.1% versus 61.2% statewide, ELA 6 is 32.1% versus 56.0%, ELA 8 is 37.6% versus 58.3%, and Math 7 is 33.7% versus 48.6%. Algebra I End-of-Course stands out at 100% proficiency, far above the state's 61.6%, but with general math stuck in the mid-30s it likely reflects a small advanced cohort rather than school-wide math success. Nearby, West Branch Middle School (90th percentile) and Louisville Middle School (87th) score well ahead.
Chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, from 35.2% in 2022–23 to 26.3% in 2025–26 — slightly below the district's 26.7%, but still well above Marlington Middle School (12.0%), Minerva Middle School (14.4%), Oakwood Middle School (16.4%), and Louisville (18.0%). Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: special education students rank at the 0th percentile (577th of 579), several other student groups also rank low, and gifted students rank highest at the 42nd percentile — still below the state median. Per-student spending was $7,669 in 2018–19, less than several nearby districts, yet Plain Local achieves stronger results at $5,969, so spending alone does not explain outcomes.
