Summary

Yorktown Middle School is a grades 6–8 school at 5600 E Livingston Ave on Columbus's east side, serving 362 students in the Columbus City Schools District. Statewide, it ranked 899th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025-26 — the 14th percentile, 1 star. Its ten-year record shows real improvement followed by a plateau: the school climbed out of the 0-star band after 2018-19 and has held 1 star since, but its percentile has drifted slightly downward, from 17th in 2022-23 to 14th in each of the last two years.

Where a school sits matters more than anything else in these numbers. Yorktown ranks third among the five Columbus City Schools District middle schools in this comparison, clustered with Sherwood Middle School and other district peers between the 6th and 17th percentiles. Just a few miles away, the picture is entirely different: Bexley Middle School sits at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars and Gahanna South Middle School at the 78th with 4 stars. Yorktown's results essentially track its district's overall standing (12th percentile, 1 star) rather than standing apart from it.

On proficiency, Yorktown runs roughly 7 percentage points below its own district and 26–43 points below the state across most subjects. Eighth grade is its strongest band — ELA 8 is essentially at district average — while sixth grade is weakest, with Math 6 and ELA 6 about 13–15 points below district. Chronic absenteeism is the biggest structural challenge at 56.2%, more than five times Bexley's 10.8%, though it has fallen sharply from 73.1% in 2021-22 and the gap to the district average has narrowed to about 2 points. The school's strongest subgroup results are with English Language Learners, at the 38th percentile with 2 stars, and special education students, who moved from last place in 2022-23 to the 22nd percentile. Gifted students (2nd percentile) and male students (5th percentile) are the weakest. Per-student spending is $9,842, above several higher-performing neighbors, and the student-teacher ratio has risen to 15.0. No accelerated end-of-course math results are reported.
