Summary

Mccord Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 636 students in the Worthington City district, located at 1500 Hard Rd in Columbus, OH 43235. It ranks 174 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 83rd percentile with 4 stars — and has earned 4 stars in every year of its rank history, climbing from the 75th–80th percentile range before 2020 to the 83rd–87th since. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 16.6% in 2022–2023 to 13.2% in 2025–2026, which is below the district's 15.2%. About 26.1% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.

Mccord exceeds state proficiency in every tested subject and grade shown in the data. Advanced math is the school's signature strength: Algebra I proficiency was 96.2% in 2025–2026, versus 70.1% district and 61.6% state, and Integrated Math I came in at 98.4% in 2024–2025 and 100% in each of the two years before that. Science 8 (80.7%), ELA 7 (80.4%) and ELA 8 (80.1%) are also comfortably above state averages and mostly above district averages. The relative weak spots are 6th-grade math (67.6%) and 6th-grade ELA (68.9%), both below district averages but still above the state, and 8th-grade math (76.9%), which is essentially tied with the district while far ahead of the state.

Within Worthington, Mccord trails Phoenix Middle School (90th percentile) and Kilbourne Middle School (88th) but leads Worthingway Middle School and Perry Middle School (both 77th). Olentangy Liberty Middle School sits in a higher tier (99th percentile, 5.9% absenteeism, 89–95% proficiency). Mccord far outperforms nearby Columbus City schools like World Language Middle School, Ridgeview Middle School and Woodward Park Middle School, and generally beats Dublin's John Sells Middle School and Ann Simpson Davis Middle School. One caution: while the overall rank is high, the school's relative effectiveness for English language learners (55th percentile), low-income students (62nd) and Hispanic (66th) and multiracial (70th) students has slipped in recent years.
