Summary

Worthingway Middle School is a 640-student, grades 6–8 school in Worthington, OH, the largest of five middle schools in the Worthington City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 240th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (77th percentile, 4 stars), its highest placement in the ten years of history provided and a clear step up from 372nd (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2020–2021. It has held 4 stars for six of the last seven reported years.

Proficiency comfortably exceeds state averages in every subject and grade tested, but against its own district Worthingway Middle School sits slightly below district averages in most subjects (7 of 8 measures). Exceptions: 8th grade math (77.1% vs. 77.5%) and Algebra I (100% vs. 70.1% district, 61.6% state). Science 8 is a weak spot: Worthingway Middle School 69.5%, Kilbourne Middle School 85.9%, Mccord Middle School 80.7%, Phoenix Middle School 82.1%, and Perry Middle School 64.9%. Grade 8 math is strong (77.1%, 25 points above state); grade 7 math is soft (49.6% proficient, barely clearing the state’s 48.6% and 6.4 points below district). Kilbourne Middle School also shows a 6-point gap in grade 7 math, suggesting a district-wide issue. Eighth grade ELA proficiency rose from 56.1% to 72.6% over two years.

Context signals: 31.41% free/reduced lunch (2024–2025), a 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio, and $8,774 per-student spending (2018–2019) — the lowest per-pupil figure among Worthington middle schools with data. Chronic absenteeism is the standout concern: 17.4%, the highest of any Worthington middle school and above the district’s 15.2%, having risen five straight years (13.0% → 17.4%) while the district moved the opposite direction (18.3% → 15.2%). Subgroup results are unusually even: African American students rank at the 85th percentile, White students 83rd, multi-racial 82nd, and low-income 63rd (up from 46th). English Language Learners improved from 20th to 73rd percentile. Bottom line: Worthingway Middle School is a solidly above-average, steadily improving school that outperforms the state by wide margins on the smallest per-pupil budget in its district, but grade 7 math, science relative to its Worthington neighbors, and rising absenteeism are the three vulnerabilities to watch.
