Summary

Memorial Junior High School is a 463-student, grades 7–8 school in the Lyndhurst/South Euclid area of Cleveland, OH, and is part of the South Euclid-Lyndhurst City district. In 2025-2026, it ranked 782nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools—25th percentile, 1 star—placing it in the bottom quarter statewide. That standing has slipped for four straight years, from the 36th percentile in 2022-23 to 25th in 2025-26. In the general grade-level tests, proficiency is below state averages: 7th grade math 26.0%, 8th grade math 29.0%, 7th grade ELA 46.0%, 8th grade ELA 46.7%, and 8th grade science 28.9%, which is 32 points below the state. Science had the sharpest one-year drop, falling from 40.6% the prior year, and ELA has eroded across both grades since 2022-23.

The school's strongest number is Algebra I: 100% proficiency for three consecutive years. That likely reflects a small, accelerated cohort rather than broad math strength, since general 7th and 8th grade math remain near 26–29%. Compared with nearby schools, Memorial outperforms Euclid Middle School, Richmond Heights Middle School, and W.H. Kirk Middle School, but trails Baumgardner Middle School, Roxboro Middle School, Shaker Hts Middle School, Mayfield Middle School, and Beachwood Middle School. Beachwood Middle School ranks in the 96th percentile statewide and Mayfield Middle School in the 79th, showing how wide the local achievement spread is. Chronic absenteeism improved from 35.4% to 30.2%, better than the district's 33.6% but higher than several nearby suburban schools, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 15.2.

Other context matters for parents. The economically disadvantaged share rose from 50.91% in 2022-23 to 62.58% in 2023-24. Per-pupil spending is listed at $10,395 (2018-19), lower than Greenview Upper Elementary School's $14,541, even though Greenview is the feeder school 1.1 miles away and posts stronger 4th grade results (ELA 60.2%, math 64.0%). The overall 25th percentile also masks wide differences for some student groups; students with disabilities and low-income students rank near the bottom of comparable schools statewide. Memorial's real bright spots—improving attendance, a better student-teacher ratio, and a standout accelerated Algebra I track—are narrow, while its broad weaknesses in general math, science, and ELA remain substantial.
