Summary

Bucyrus Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Bucyrus, Ohio, with an enrollment of 253 students. The school is part of the Bucyrus City School District, which is ranked 549 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Bucyrus Middle School has some areas of strength, it faces significant challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.1% to 36.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Seneca East Middle School (7.5%) and Ontario Middle School (12.3%). Additionally, Bucyrus Middle School's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science lagging behind nearby high-performing schools like Buckeye Central Middle School.

However, the school's proximity to these high-performing peers and its ability to effectively serve certain student subgroups, such as Multi-racial and Gifted/Talented students, suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and support. Additionally, the school's strong performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, with proficiency rates exceeding 70% in recent years, indicates that the school has the potential to improve its overall academic outcomes.
