Summary

West Carrollton Middle School is a public middle school serving 471 students in grades 7-8 in West Carrollton, Ohio, which is part of the West Carrollton City school district. Over the past 10 years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools, with a 1 or 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Carrollton Middle School faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.1% to 33.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. The school also lags behind the state and district averages on most standardized test metrics, with only 23.6% of 7th graders proficient in math compared to 50% statewide, and 37.3% of 8th graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 54.4% statewide. The school struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with its rankings for White, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all in the bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools.

However, the school does show some bright spots, such as its Algebra I performance, with 87.5% of students proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state and district averages. Additionally, West Carrollton Middle School performs relatively well for its English Language Learner students, ranking in the top third of Ohio middle schools in this subgroup. The school also spends more per student than the state average, at $9,943 per student, though it is unclear if this additional spending is translating to improved outcomes.
