of 1,046 Ohio Middle Schools

Better than 98% of Ohio middle schools

Summary

Bay Middle School in Bay Village, Ohio, serves 738 students in grades 5–8 at 27725 Wolf Rd and is the only middle-level building in the Bay Village City district, which ranks 9th of 773 Ohio districts (99th percentile, 5 stars).

Bay Middle is a consistently elite school. It has earned 5 stars every year for a decade, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 17th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (98th percentile) — its best showing since 2018–2019. Proficiency runs 25–40 points above the state in every subject tested: Grade 5 math is 93.4% versus Ohio's 59.1%, Grade 7 math 88.1% versus 48.6%, and Grade 8 science 92.6% versus 61.2%. The one nearby school that genuinely rivals it is Rocky River Middle School, which leads Bay in Grade 6 ELA (92.2% vs. 84.0%) and in Grades 6–7 math, while Bay leads in Grade 8 math and science. Bay is clearly ahead of Westlake's Dover Intermediate School and Lee Burneson Middle School, Avon Lake's Troy Intermediate Elementary School and Learwood Middle School, and further ahead of North Olmsted Middle School and Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Middle.

Bay's most distinctive strength may be attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 8.0% is the lowest in the comparison group — roughly one-sixth of North Olmsted Middle's 22.3% and one-fifth of Westpark's 42.1% — and it has improved from 11.6% in 2022–23. Every reported student group earns 5 stars, including low-income students (23rd of 996, 98th percentile), male students (6th of 955), and special education students (40th of 579, 93rd percentile — the school's relative, not absolute, soft spot). Bay spends the most per student among nearby schools ($13,550 in 2018–19, so treat that figure as dated) and serves the lowest poverty rate (11.38%), though that rate has been rising. Watch items are narrow and relative: Grade 6 ELA at 84.0%, a slow four-year slide in Grade 5 science, and a mild wobble in special education results. Even Bay's four-year perfect Algebra I rate should be read as a small accelerated cohort, not the whole grade.
