Summary

Urbana Junior High School is a public middle school serving 387 students in grades 6–8 in Urbana, Ohio, part of the Urbana City school district. It ranks 622nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026—41st percentile with 2 stars—which is above its district’s 28th percentile but still below the state median. Among nearby schools, it ranks 7th of 10, ahead of Roosevelt Middle School, Schaefer Middle School, and Hayward Middle School, but behind West Liberty-Salem Middle School, Mechanicsburg Middle School, Triad Middle School, Graham Middle School, Bellefontaine Middle School, and Tecumseh Middle School.

Academically, the school has clear strengths and weaknesses. Algebra I End of Course is a standout: 85.3% proficient, far above the state’s 61.6% and the district’s 46.9%, though this may reflect a small, selective group. Seventh-grade math is also strong at 56.0% versus 48.6% statewide, and eighth-grade science is near the state at 60.9%. However, English language arts is the biggest concern. Sixth-grade ELA is 37.4% proficient—nearly 19 points below the state—while seventh-grade ELA is 56.6% versus 62.7% and eighth-grade ELA is 48.2% versus 58.3%. Eighth-grade math is persistently weak at 39.0% versus 52.0% statewide and has been below state for years. Sixth-grade math also dropped to 48.3%.

Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, from 43.5% in 2021–2022 to 19.5% in 2025–2026, but it remains slightly above the district’s 18.7% and higher than top nearby schools such as West Liberty-Salem Middle School (11.7%), Triad Middle School (12.8%), and Mechanicsburg Middle School (14.0%). Economic need is high and rising: free/reduced lunch is 63.05%, higher than Bellefontaine Middle School, Triad Middle School, and Graham Middle School. The student/teacher ratio is a middle-of-the-pack 16.1, and per-student spending was $9,916 in 2018–2019, relatively high among nearby districts. The overall 2-star rating also masks lower results for some student groups, especially special education and low-income students. This suggests the school’s main opportunities are in literacy, eighth-grade math, sustained absenteeism reduction, and more consistent support across groups.
