Summary

West Carrollton Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in West Carrollton, Ohio, serving 479 students as part of the West Carrollton City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 765th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 27th percentile, with 1 star — a decline from the mid-30s percentile and 2 stars it held from 2020–2021 through 2023–2024. That places it below nearly every nearby ranked middle school except Wogaman Middle School.

Test results in 2025–2026 were below the Ohio average in every core area except Algebra I. Gaps ranged from 15 to 21.5 percentage points: 7th-grade math was 27.1% proficient (state 48.6%), 8th-grade math 34.9%, 8th-grade science 41.4%, and 7th/8th-grade English language arts 43.3–43.6%. By contrast, Algebra I reached 100%, though this is likely a small or selective advanced-math group and does not reflect overall math strength. For comparison, Miamisburg Middle School (54th percentile) posted 61.0% in science and 71.0% in 7th-grade ELA, while Carlisle Junior High School (63rd percentile) reached 66.1% and 66.3%.

Two challenges stand out. Chronic absenteeism was 28.8% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 27.0% and higher than Tower Heights Middle School (10.6%) and Oakwood Junior High School (4.8%). In 2023–2024, 74.95% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, well above Miamisburg Middle School (52.31%) and Carlisle Junior High School (36.78%). Among student groups, gifted and talented students ranked 67th percentile (3 stars), the only group above the 50th percentile; most others ranked between 11th and 35th percentile.
