Summary

Tallmadge Middle School is a public school in Tallmadge, OH, serving grades 6–8 with 614 students as part of the Tallmadge City district, a suburban community near Akron.

The school ranks 288th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars — notably higher than its district's 63rd percentile ranking. Its strongest academic signature is upper-grade math: 100% of students reached proficiency in Algebra I for four consecutive years (district: 76.1%; state: 61.6%), and Math 8 proficiency is 77.8% versus 52.0% statewide. Science 8, Math 6, ELA 6, and ELA 8 also run well above state averages, while Math 7 is the relative weak spot at 48.7%, essentially the state average and behind Mogadore Junior High School, Kimpton Middle School, and National Inventors Hall of Fame School Center for STEM. Compared with nearby schools, Tallmadge sits in the upper tier: it clearly outpaces Cuyahoga Falls Middle School and the Akron City schools, competes with Field Middle School, and trails the STEM school, Kimpton, and Mogadore on overall percentile.

Two contextual trends are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism rose from 11.4% in 2021–2022 to 16.3% in 2025–2026, now above the district's 14.8%, though still far below Akron-area schools that exceed 37%–52%. Free/reduced lunch eligibility grew from 20.93% in 2022–2023 to 31.6% in 2024–2025, and test scores have remained above district and state averages despite these shifts. Subgroup results are uneven: students in special education (70th percentile) and male students (74th) perform well, while low-SES students sit around the 63rd percentile and achievement for some groups, including African American and Asian students, has fluctuated or declined in 2025–2026. The student-teacher ratio is 18.8, relatively high among nearby schools.
