Summary

Wapakoneta Middle School is a grades 5–7 school in Wapakoneta, Ohio, serving 614 students as part of the Wapakoneta City district in a small northwest-Ohio city. It is a strong performer: for 2025–2026 it ranked 235th of 1,046 Ohio schools statewide — the 78th percentile, with 4 stars — well above its own district's 58th-percentile ranking.

Math is the school's academic signature. In 2025–2026, 6th-grade math proficiency was 77.5% versus a state average of 56.2%, and 7th-grade math was 68.3% versus 48.6%. Fifth-grade science (73.0% vs. 62.7%) and 6th- and 7th-grade ELA also topped the state, putting the school above the state in 5 of 7 tested grade-subject areas. The clear weak spot is 5th grade, where math (55.9%) and ELA (63.6%) fell below state averages; in 2024–2025 the school had been above state in all seven. Chronic absenteeism improved dramatically, from 28.7% in 2021–2022 to 12.3% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 15.4%. Low-income students rank in the 82nd percentile, above the school's overall rank.

Locally, Wapakoneta Middle ranks above Shawnee Middle School (75th percentile), Elida Middle School (68), St. Marys Middle School (60), Wapakoneta Junior High (59), Allen East Middle School (55) and Lima West Middle School (8), but trails Anna Middle School (91), Bath Middle School (88) and Spencerville Middle School (85). It does this with a higher student-teacher ratio (21.2) and lower per-student spending ($6,764 in 2018–2019) than many neighbors. Special education results are the most variable area, at the 59th percentile in 2025–2026 after 86th the year before.
