Summary

Claggett Middle School is a 724-student school serving grades 6–8 on East Union Street in Medina, Ohio, about 25 miles south of Cleveland, and it is the larger of the two middle schools in the Medina City School District. It ranks 206th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools for 2025-26 — the 80th percentile, 4 stars — and has earned 4 stars in every year on record, ten reporting years back, never dropping to 3 stars and never breaking into 5.

On the 2025-26 Ohio State Tests, Claggett beat the state in all nine subjects, by 10.6 to 20.1 points, while trailing the district average on all seven grade-level tests by a modest 1.3 to 5.9 points. The most revealing comparison is A. I. Root Middle School, 1.65 miles away, with the same grades and similar enrollment: it ranks 100th of 1,046 (90th percentile, 5 stars) with nearly identical staffing (15.6 vs. 15.7 students per teacher) and slightly lower per-student spending. The clearest difference is the student population — Claggett serves 34.12% free/reduced lunch versus 19.28% at A.I. Root — which makes Claggett's 80th-percentile standing a stronger result than the raw number suggests. Claggett also posts 100% proficiency on Geometry and Algebra I end-of-course exams four years running, though that reflects a small accelerated cohort rather than the whole school.

Two trends are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 16.5%, the highest among nearby schools, and Claggett has exceeded its own district rate in four of the last five years — though the latest figure is the lowest of that window and down 4.2 points from last year. Low-income achievement has slipped three straight years to the 64th percentile (3 stars) while the low-income share of the school grew by roughly 12 points in two years. The school's quiet strength is its advanced track: gifted-and-talented performance has climbed from the 48th percentile to the 89th.
