Summary

Stanton Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Kent, Ohio, serving 616 students in the Kent City school district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 266th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 75th percentile, with 4 stars — which is stronger than the district's overall ranking of 252nd of 773 districts. After dipping to the 51st percentile in 2020–2021, Stanton has climbed back to the 75th percentile with 4-star ratings two years running.

Proficiency results beat the Ohio average in every reported subject. Algebra I End of Course reached 100% proficiency versus 61.6% statewide, and the school has posted 97% or higher in that course for four straight years. ELA 7 (81.2%) and Science 8 (73.4%) are also standouts, and Math 7 (65.0%) is close to Kimpton Middle School (65.7%). Among nearby schools, Stanton trails only Hudson Middle School (9th statewide) and sits just behind Kimpton, while ranking ahead of Tallmadge Middle School, Woodridge Middle School, Field, Rootstown, Streetsboro, Cuyahoga Falls, and Brown. Watch points: Math 8 (61.3%) is above state but below Tallmadge and Woodridge despite steady improvement, and 6th-grade math (61.4%) and ELA (60.4%) are only modestly above state averages.

About half of Stanton students (50.32%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher share than Tallmadge or Kimpton, yet Stanton posts comparable or better results — a sign of effective instruction and support. Chronic absenteeism fell from 30.6% in 2022–2023 to 23.0% in 2025–2026, now below the district average, though still well above Hudson's 7.7%. Most student groups, including students with disabilities, rank above the state median. Low-income students rank at the 56th percentile — above average, but the school's least standout group and its clearest internal focus area. Stanton spends the most per student among comparison schools ($12,677 in the available data) and has a low student-teacher ratio of 14.1, while Kimpton achieves similar results with much larger classes and lower spending.
