It ranks 159th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026, placing in the 85th percentile with 4 stars, and its district ranks 132nd of 773 districts (83rd percentile). The school has improved steadily, from the 65th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 85th in 2025–2026.

Academically, Heath Middle School exceeds Ohio averages in every reported subject and grade. Its strongest results are in math and science: Math 7 proficiency is 77.1% versus Ohio’s 48.6%, Math 8 is 77.8% versus 52.0%, and Science 8 is 84.4% versus 61.2%. Compared with nearby schools, Heath’s Math 7 rate is the highest among the listed middle schools, including Granville Middle School (65.7%). Math 8 and Science 8 are second only to Granville Middle School, ahead of Watkins Middle School, Northridge Middle School, Sheridan Middle School, Liberty Middle School, Utica Middle School, and Licking Valley Middle School. ELA 7 and ELA 8 are also strong; ELA 6, at 60.3%, is above the state but below Utica Middle School, Liberty Middle School, Watkins Middle School, and Granville Intermediate School, making it the main relative soft spot.

Heath Middle School’s chronic absenteeism improved dramatically from 34.6% in 2021–2022 to 14.6% in 2025–2026, below the Heath City district’s 16.3% and better than most nearby schools, though Watkins Middle School is lower.

Its special education subgroup ranks in the 65th percentile, above average but below the school’s overall rank.
