Summary

Tiffin Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Tiffin City Schools in Tiffin, Ohio, serving 534 students. Statewide, it ranks 465th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026 (56th percentile, 3 stars); its district ranks 374th of 773 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). That places it mid-pack locally: it outranks Fremont Middle School and Lakota Middle School, but trails Seneca East Middle School, Upper Sandusky Middle School, Arcadia Middle School, and McPherson Middle School. Over the past decade it has held a mid-to-upper-middle position, peaking at the 62nd percentile in 2023–2024 before slipping to 58th and then 56th.

Academically, results are split by grade and subject. Eighth-grade math (65.5% proficient vs. 52.0% statewide) and Algebra I (87.5% vs. 61.6%) are clear strengths, and 8th-grade science and 7th- and 8th-grade ELA are above state averages. But 6th-grade math (48.9%) and especially 7th-grade math (39.1%) fall below the state, with 7th-grade math down sharply from 56.0% the year before. Compared with neighbors, those strengths are real but not dominant: Tiffin's 8th-grade math and science beat Fremont's results but trail Upper Sandusky, McPherson, Arcadia, and Seneca East, and its Algebra I pass rate is below every nearby school that reported one.

Two other areas stand out. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 21.7% in 2021–2022 to 17.6% in 2025–2026 — better than Fremont (24.7%) and similar to McPherson (18.7%), but well above Arcadia (3.5%), Seneca East (6.2%), and Upper Sandusky (7.3%). The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio rose to 17.8, higher than most nearby schools. The school's effectiveness also varies by student group: gifted and talented students rank in the 93rd percentile (5 stars) and low-SES students in the 73rd (4 stars), while special education students rank in the 32nd percentile, up from the 18th. Some figures, including 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch and spending data, are missing or dated, so comparisons are directional.
