Summary

Piqua Junior High School is a grades 7–8 school at 1 Tomahawk Trl in Piqua, OH, serving 460 students as part of the Piqua City district, where 67.44% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2023-2024. For 2025-2026 it ranks 483rd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools—54th percentile, 3 stars—a mid-pack position that represents real recovery from the mid-30s percentiles of 2018-2019. Chronic absenteeism has been cut roughly in half, from 43.0% in 2021-2022 to 22.4% in 2025-2026, now below the district’s 24.4%, and the student-teacher ratio has improved from 22.8 in 2022-2023 to 15.3 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Piqua has an unusual split: it beats the state in math at both grade levels but trails in English language arts. Math 7 is 55.2% proficient vs. Ohio’s 48.6%, and Math 8 is 62.2% vs. 52.0%; ELA 7 is 56.8% vs. 62.7%, and ELA 8 is 54.5% vs. 58.3%. Eighth-grade math has been a standout turnaround, rising from 25.4% in 2022-2023 to 62.2% now. Algebra I proficiency is 100%, though many nearby schools—including Versailles Middle School, Troy Junior High School, and Miami East Junior High School—also report near-perfect results, so it is not a local differentiator. Science 8 is the sharpest concern: it fell from 71.7% to 59.8% in one year, now the lowest among the comparison schools.

Among nearby schools, Versailles Middle School (99th percentile), Miami East Junior High School (96th), Tippecanoe Middle School (87th), and Troy Junior High School (80th) rank higher, while Piqua Junior High School sits ahead of Sidney Middle School (50th) and Milton-Union Middle School (44th). The most encouraging finding is that low-income students rank in the top quartile—4 stars, 72nd to 78th percentile—well above the school’s overall 54th percentile, suggesting the instructional model works well for its highest-need students. Clear opportunities remain in ELA at both grades and eighth-grade science. The weak-ELA/strong-math pattern also appears at feeder Piqua Central Intermediate School, where sixth-grade ELA is slightly below state while math is well above.
