Summary
Shiloh Middle School in Parma, Ohio, is a public middle school serving grades 5–8 with 729 students in the Parma City School District, a community with high economic need. In 2025–2026, Shiloh Middle School ranked 717th of 1,046 Ohio schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), below the district’s 40th percentile and lower than its same-district peers. Among those peers, Hillside Middle School ranked 60th percentile with 3 stars and Greenbriar Middle School ranked 43rd percentile with 2 stars, making Shiloh Middle School the lowest-ranked of the three. Its rank has also slipped recently: 35th percentile in 2024–2025, 34th in 2023–2024, and 31st in 2025–2026, though it reached 53rd percentile with 3 stars in 2022–2023.
Academically, the school has a two-track math picture. General grade-level math is weak: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 50.9% in 5th grade, 46.9% in 6th, 22.4% in 7th, and 31.0% in 8th, all below district and state averages. The 7th-grade result is especially low, and 8th-grade math is 22 percentage points below the district. Eighth-grade science (40.4%) and English language arts (42.5%) also trail district and state. Yet Algebra I is a clear strength: 91.4% of test-takers were proficient in 2025–2026, far above the district’s 58.5% and the state’s 61.6%. This suggests advanced math students are well served, while grade-level math needs more support.
Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge: 34.0% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 24.4%, Greenbriar Middle School’s 30.9%, and Hillside Middle School’s 23.1%, though improved from 54.1% in 2021–2022. The most recent free/reduced-price lunch figure is 72.43% (2023–2024), much higher than nearby North Royalton Middle School (34.19%), Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School (18.35%), and Independence Middle School (11.04%). Per-pupil spending was $9,474 in 2018–2019, lower than Greenbriar Middle School and Hillside Middle School. Some student groups, including special education and English language learner students, rank very low statewide, while 7th-grade ELA (57.2%) is close to the district average. Overall, Shiloh Middle School faces real needs in attendance and general math, with Algebra I as a notable bright spot.
