Summary

Brunswick Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 1,375 students in the Brunswick City district in Brunswick, Ohio, making it one of the larger middle schools in its area. It ranks 223rd of 1,046 Ohio schools in 2025–26 — the 79th percentile, or 4 stars — and has held a 4-star rating since 2018–19, following a run of 3-star years in the mid-2010s.

Academically, Brunswick beats Ohio's proficiency rate in every reported test area. English language arts is a relative strength, with Grade 8 ELA at 76.1% proficient versus Ohio's 58.3%, and Grade 6 and Grade 7 math (73.9% and 68.1%) are well above state. Advanced math is near the ceiling: Algebra I is 98.0% and Geometry 100%. Grade 8 math (58.4%) and Grade 8 science (73.3%) are above state but below most nearby middle schools. Among neighbors, Highland Middle School is the clear local benchmark at the 97th percentile, while Brunswick is closer to Claggett Middle School and Buckeye Junior High School, and well ahead of Berea-Midpark Middle School.

Chronic absenteeism has improved from 26.8% in 2021–22 to 16.4% in 2025–26 — better than Strongsville Middle School, North Royalton Middle School, and Berea-Midpark, but still above the district's 14.0%. Subgroup results are uneven: English language learners rank at the 92nd percentile and gifted students at the 98th, while low-income students (68th percentile) and students with disabilities (63rd percentile, up from 2-star ratings) trail the school's overall 79th percentile. Brunswick also reports the lowest per-student spending among neighboring schools ($6,818 in 2018–19), a figure best treated as historical context.
