Summary

Phoenix Middle School is a small public middle school in Worthington, Ohio, serving grades 7–8 with 154 students as part of the Worthington City district. Despite its size, it is a strong performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 101st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 90th percentile, with 5 stars. That makes it the highest-ranked middle school in its own district and second only to Hastings Middle School among nearby schools. Phoenix scored above both its district and the state in every reported subject and grade.

Math is the standout. Eighth-grade math proficiency was 87.3%, well above the district's 77.5% and the state's 52.0%, and Algebra I proficiency was reported at 100%. Kilbourne Middle School edged ahead in science (85.9 vs. 82.1) and in both ELA grades, while Phoenix led in Math 7, Math 8, and Algebra I. Hastings Middle School ranked higher statewide (73rd) and had lower chronic absenteeism (7.2% vs. 11.4%), but its student–teacher ratio is far larger (25.6 vs. 10.6) and its eighth-grade math proficiency lower (64.6 vs. 87.3).

Phoenix's subgroup results are notable: special education students ranked 7th of 579, and low-income students 40th of 996. Chronic absenteeism, 11.4%, is below the district's 15.2% and most same-district peers. The school has the lowest student–teacher ratio (10.6) among nearby schools and reported the highest per-student spending among those with data ($11,067, from 2018–2019). One caveat: Phoenix has slipped from top-1% state rankings (9th in 2015–2016, 12th in 2020–2021) to top-10%, and its free/reduced-lunch figure is unavailable, so its economic composition cannot be compared with nearby schools.
