Summary

Wilson Middle School is a grades 7–8 school at 714 Eaton Ave in Hamilton, Ohio, serving 587 students as part of the Hamilton City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 641st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 39th percentile, with a 2-star rating — while its district ranked 570th of 773, or the 26th percentile with 1 star. That places Wilson above its own district average but below the statewide midpoint. It is also a slide: Wilson reached the 67th percentile in 2021–2022, hovered near the 50th–55th for several years, then fell to 39th, dropping from 3 stars to 2.

The academic picture is sharply split. Algebra I is the standout: 100% proficient in 2025–2026 and the two prior years, and 98.2% in 2022–2023 — far above district and state results and matching the top nearby schools. Eighth grade math is also relatively strong at 61.2%, above the district's 54.3% and the state's 52%, and rising each year. Seventh grade math, however, fell to 25% proficiency, below the district's 27.9% and far below the state's 48.6%. Science (51.5%) and ELA (52.6% in 7th grade, 49.7% in 8th) are below state averages. Chronic absenteeism is 33.6%.

Same-district Garfield Middle School is 2.3 miles away and ranks slightly lower (37th percentile, 2 stars). Ross Middle School sits in a different tier: 5 stars, 93rd percentile, higher scores and dramatically lower absenteeism (8.9%). Lakota Ridge Junior School and Lakota Plains Junior School are 4-star schools in the low 80s, while Crossroads Middle School and Creekside Middle School are 3-star and 2-star. Wilson generally outpaces Winton Woods Middle School, New Miami Middle School, and Pleasant Run Middle School but trails Ross, Lakota, and Fairfield. Notably, in 2025–2026 the school's measured effectiveness for most student groups — including English learners, students with disabilities, and low-income students — fell below the state median, after several groups had ranked in the 70s–80s in earlier years.
