Summary

Brown Middle School is a grade 5–8 school in Ravenna, Ohio, serving 508 students in the Ravenna City district. It ranks 769th of 1,046 Ohio schools (26th percentile, 1 star), the lowest among nearby middle schools — Waterloo Middle School is at 43rd percentile and Mogadore Junior High School at 80th, with Streetsboro Middle School, Field Middle School, Stanton Middle School and Kimpton Middle School also higher. The Ravenna City district ranks 19th percentile, 1 star, versus nearby districts from Waterloo Local (43rd) to Stow-Munroe Falls City School District (73rd). Brown's rank has drifted downward over the decade, from the 47th percentile in 2015-16 to the 26th in 2025-26, mostly holding 1 star with occasional 2-star years.

In 2025-26, proficiency is low in most subjects: math by grade is 27.0, 25.2, 18.6 and 36.6; ELA is 47.2, 36.1, 44.3 and 45.5; science is 54.3 in grade 5 and 50.0 in grade 8 — all below state averages. The exception is Algebra I, at 82.6% proficient, above the district's 50.0% and Ohio's 61.6%, though nearby schools reporting it scored 97.1% or higher. Grades 5–7 lag far behind neighbors; 7th-grade math is 18.6 versus a nearby range of 43.3–65.7, and 6th-grade ELA is 36.1 versus 51.8–67.5. Chronic absenteeism is the sharpest difference: 36.1% at Brown, versus 11.3%–27.1% nearby (district: 37.0%). It has improved from 48.1% in 2021-22 but remains very high.

Subgroup effectiveness rankings — which measure how well the school serves particular student groups — are uneven: White students rank at the 9th percentile (0 stars), Special Education students at the 14th, and African American students at the 16th, all below the school's overall 26th percentile, while low-income students are closer at 27th. Resources don't clearly explain the gap — Brown's student-teacher ratio of 14 is better than higher-ranked Lakeview Elementary School (19.4), Waterloo Middle School (21.8) and Kimpton Middle School (21.5), and 2018-19 per-student spending of $9,755 is mid-range. Bright spots include 8th-grade gains from 2024-25 to 2025-26: math 28.7 to 36.6, ELA 24.5 to 45.5, and science 36.9 to 50.0 — meaningful progress, though still below state and most neighbors.
