Summary

Port Clinton Middle School serves 292 students in grades 6–8 at 807 Jefferson St. in the lakeside town of Port Clinton, Ohio, as part of the Port Clinton City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 272nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 74th percentile, 4 stars — roughly 10 percentile points above its own district's standing, which makes the middle school a relative bright spot locally. After slipping into the low 60s between 2022 and 2024, the school has recovered to about its historical norm in the low-to-mid 70s.

Its test results beat Ohio's in all eight tested measures. Eighth grade is the strongest band: 80.0% proficiency in math (state 52.0%), 76.3% in science (state 61.2%) and 70.2% in ELA (state 58.3%). Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 100%, though that almost certainly reflects a small, selected group of accelerated eighth graders rather than the whole grade. Among nearby middle schools, raw proficiency puts Port Clinton mid-pack: Danbury Middle School (79.4%), Bellevue Middle School (75.6%) and McPherson Middle School (70.8%) all score higher, with Port Clinton at 68.1%, ahead of Briar Middle School, Fremont Middle School and Sandusky Middle School. Nearly 59% of students here qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — the highest rate in that group — so results landing within a few points of wealthier neighboring districts are notable.

Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 27.2% to 13.5% over four years, and the school is now below its district's rate for the first time in this window. Gifted students rank at the 98th percentile statewide and low-income students at the 92nd, both 5-star results. Special education is the clear weak spot, sliding from the 74th percentile to the 29th percentile (1 star) even as the school's overall rank climbed.
