Summary

Dominion Middle School is a public middle school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 726 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dominion Middle School has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, consistently outperforming the district and state in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 62.1% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 31.8% for the district and 63% for the state. The school also had impressive performance in End of Course exams, with 100% of students proficient or better in Geometry and 85.5% in Algebra I, significantly higher than the district's scores.

However, Dominion Middle School faces challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 41.5% to 57.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with White and Multi-racial students generally performing better than African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. Addressing these equity gaps and chronic absenteeism issues through targeted interventions and increased resources could help Dominion Middle School improve its overall performance and provide a more equitable education for all its students.
