Summary

Kilbourne Middle School is a 6–8 school with 464 students in the Worthington City district, located on E Dublin Granville Rd in Worthington, Ohio, a Columbus suburb. In 2025–2026 it ranked 124th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 88th percentile, 4 stars — comfortably above its district's 78th percentile. Its ten-year record is unusually steady: it has not fallen below the 84th percentile since 2015–2016, and five of the past ten years landed at or above the 91st percentile.

Test results are strong almost across the board. Eighth grade science proficiency is 85.9% against 61.2% statewide, eighth grade math 80.4% against 52.0%, and 6th grade ELA 84.7% versus a 56.0% state figure. Advanced math stands out, with Algebra I at 98.2% and Integrated Math II at 100%, though those reflect small advanced cohorts. Special education students rank in the 96th percentile statewide. The clear exception is 7th grade math at 50.0% proficient, below the district's 56.0% and the school's only soft academic spot. Chronic absenteeism is 11.1%, the lowest of any nearby school and below the district's 15.2%.

Among nearby options, Kilbourne is the top-ranked comprehensive middle school in Worthington City, ahead of McCord Middle School (83rd percentile), Perry Middle School and Worthingway Middle School (77th each). Only Phoenix Middle School ranks higher, at the 90th percentile, but it enrolls 154 students with roughly 30% more spending per student. Farther out, Ann Simpson Davis Middle School in Dublin City serves 890 students at the 59th percentile with 20.7% chronic absenteeism. Two caveats for parents: 7th grade math has lagged for four years, and outcomes for low-income students (44th percentile, 2 stars) and African American students (67th percentile, 3 stars) sit below the school's overall standing, with recent declines worth watching.
