Summary
Carrollton Middle School is a 418-student school serving grades 5–8 at 205 Scio Road SW in Carrollton, Ohio, part of the Carrollton Exempted Village district in a small-town area of eastern Ohio. In 2025–2026 it ranked 449th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 57th percentile, with 3 stars — while its district ranked 328th of 773, the 58th percentile, also with 3 stars. About 51.44% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 20.9, higher than most nearby middle schools.
Statewide, this is a middle-of-the-pack school, but it sits below most of its neighbors. Louisville, Minerva, Tuscarawas, Canton South, Sandy Valley, Joseph Welty and Claymont middle schools all rank higher, and Carrollton is above only Malvern Middle School and East Canton Middle School. One reason: Carrollton serves grades 5–8, while most nearby middle schools start at grade 6, so its results include a weaker grade 5 — math at 36.0% versus the state's 59.1%, and science and English language arts also below state. Grade 6 is the sharpest weakness: ELA at 42.6% and math at 54.1% are the lowest among nearby schools reporting grade 6 data. The upper grades are stronger, with grade 8 science (70.5%), math (62.5%) and ELA (62.5%) all above state averages, and Algebra I at 100% (a likely small, advanced group).
Chronic absenteeism is 16.7% — better than most nearby middle schools, but above the district's 14.6%, and the district has improved from 21.1% in 2022–2023. Subgroup rankings for special education (42nd percentile) and low-income students (49th percentile) trail the school's overall 57th percentile, both at 2 stars, making equity-focused support a clear priority. Only one year of rank history is available, so it is not yet possible to say whether the school is improving.
