Summary

North Olmsted Middle School is a public school serving about 813 students in grades 6–8 in North Olmsted, a suburb on Cleveland's west side, and it is the middle school for the North Olmsted City district. For 2025–26 it ranked 398 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — 62nd percentile, 3 stars — while the district placed 273 of 773. That fits a recent pattern in the mid-60s percentile, down from the mid-70s percentile the school reached in 2015–16 and 2017–18.

Students scored at or above Ohio's proficiency averages in most tested grades and subjects in 2025–26. Seventh grade stood out: 72.6% proficient in English language arts (state 62.7%) and 58.0% in math (state 48.6%). Sixth-grade math was the exception at 55.9%, just below the state. Advanced math looks remarkable — 98.3% proficient in Algebra I versus 61.6% statewide — but those classes are small and selective. Compared with nearby suburban middle schools, North Olmsted generally trails Rocky River Middle School, Bay Middle School, Avon Middle School, Olmsted Falls Middle School and North Ridgeville Academic Center, though it ranks ahead of Constellation Schools: Puritas Community Middle.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern at 22.3% in 2025–26 — improved from 30.0% in 2022–23 and better than the nearby charter school, but above the district's 19.8% and roughly double the rates at Bay Middle School (8.0%) and Rocky River Middle School (9.5%). The school's student-teacher ratio of 19.1 is high next to the 11–15 range at several higher-ranked neighbors, and 50.38% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–24, well above nearby suburban schools. Low-income students as a group rank in the 82nd percentile, a genuine strength. Special education students, though, dropped to the 23rd percentile in 2025–26 from 56th in 2023–24 — worth asking about.
