Summary

Medina Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Columbus, Ohio, enrolling 438 students as part of the Columbus City Schools District. It ranks 906th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 13th percentile, with 1 star — and its district ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts.

In 2025–2026, Medina Middle School scored below the Columbus City Schools District average on all seven reported grade-level tests, and far below the state. Averaged across those tests, about 21.8% of students were proficient at Medina, versus roughly 29.1% in the district and 56.4% statewide. The weakest result was 7th-grade math at 10.9%; the strongest was 8th-grade English language arts at 30.1% — still below the district and about half the state rate. There were real gains over the prior year in 8th-grade science (15.4% to 24.6%), 6th-grade math (13.3% to 22%), and 8th-grade ELA (15.9% to 30.1%), but 7th-grade ELA and 8th-grade math declined. Math remains the clearest weak spot, and no Algebra I end-of-course result is listed for Medina, while nearby Woodward Park Middle School (97%), Ridgeview Middle School (94.7%), and Dominion Middle School (91%) report very high Algebra I proficiency — worth asking about.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest contextual challenge: 53.3% in 2025–2026, down from 72.7% in 2021–2022 and now slightly below the district average. Still, more than half of students are chronically absent, and nearby Minerva Park Middle School (17.8%) and Kilbourne Middle School (11.1%) are far lower. Among nearby schools, Medina ranks second-lowest, ahead of only Mifflin Alternative Middle School; Arts Impact Middle School (Aims), Woodward Park, Ridgeview, Dominion, and World Language Middle School all rank higher, as do Kilbourne (88th percentile) and Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School (64th). Subgroup effectiveness ranks are almost all in the bottom decile, including English language learners, Hispanic students, special education students, and gifted and talented students. The student-teacher ratio rose to 15.6 in 2024–2025, and 2018–2019 per-student spending was $9,059 — higher than several nearby schools that perform better.
