of 1,046 Ohio Middle Schools

Better than 21% of Ohio middle schools

Summary

Middletown Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Middletown, OH, part of the Middletown City district, serving 972 students and ranking 826 of 1,046 Ohio schools in 2025–26 — the 21st percentile, with a 1-star rating. That is the lowest percentile in its displayed history, which has ranged from the 21st to the 29th percentile with 1 star every year since 2015–16. The Middletown City district ranks 660 of 773 statewide (15th percentile).

Core results are far below both the state and nearby schools. In 2025–26, 8th grade math proficiency was 25.4% (state: 52.0%), 8th grade ELA 32.7% (state: 58.3%), and science 34.7% (state: 61.2%) — gaps of roughly 20–27 points in every core subject. Every nearby middle school scored higher, including Springboro Junior High School at 80.4% in 8th grade math and Franklin Junior High School at 58.0%. Chronic absenteeism is the sharpest contrast: 43.7% at Middletown, versus 28.7% at Franklin Junior High School, 24.0% at Miamisburg Middle School, 20.8% at Lebanon Junior High, and 13.4% at Springboro Junior High School. Advanced math is the standout strength — Algebra I proficiency is 100%, above the state's 61.6% — but general 8th grade math sits at 25.4%, so that success looks narrow.

State subgroup rankings show generally low effectiveness, with most student groups in the bottom quarter statewide in 2025–26; gifted students were a relative bright spot at the 56th percentile in 2024–25. Resources look relatively favorable: the student–teacher ratio of 15.0 in 2024–25 is better than Lebanon Junior High (20.2) and Springboro Junior High School (20.8), and per-student spending of $6,277 in 2018–19 is mid-range for the area. The main takeaways for families: Middletown Middle has stayed in the bottom quartile for a decade, with unusually high absenteeism and low core proficiency, while advanced math performs very well. Attendance and core instruction appear to be the areas most worth asking about.
