Summary

Eaton Middle School is a 410-student school serving grades 6 through 8 in Eaton, a small city in Preble County, Ohio, and it is part of the Eaton Community City district. In 2025–26 it ranked 201st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 81st percentile with 4 stars — its best standing since 2018–19, after climbing steadily from the 69th percentile in 2022–23. That places it 20 percentile points above its own district's average, suggesting Eaton Middle is the strongest-performing tier in its district.

Math is clearly this school's strength. Eaton's proficiency was 83.3% in 6th grade, 70.7% in 7th, and 71.0% in 8th — higher than every comparable nearby middle school, including Northmont Middle School, Madison Junior High, Talawanda Middle School, Preble Shawnee Middle School, and Twin Valley South Middle School, and running 19 to 27 points above the state rate. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, falling from 24.8% in 2021–22 to 15.3% in 2025–26 — now below the district's 17.9%. Parents should also note the favorable staffing ratio: 13.6 students per teacher, among the lowest in the area.

What sets Eaton apart even more is how well it serves students with higher needs: it ranked in the 82nd percentile for special education students and the 77th percentile for low-income students in 2025–26, both above the state average. Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency reached 100% in each of the last three years, though that reflects a small group of accelerated 8th graders rather than the whole school. Two trends are worth watching: female students rose to the 85th percentile while male students slipped to the 71st, and the share of students eligible for free or reduced lunch climbed from 38.9% to 46.59% while results still improved. Regionally, only Brookville Intermediate School ranks higher, and it serves a wider grade span; the closest geographic peer, Twin Valley South Middle, sits 28 percentile points lower.
