Summary

Chesapeake Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Chesapeake, Ohio, with 382 students. The school is part of the Chesapeake Union Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 309 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chesapeake Middle School generally performs better than the state average on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 84.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 67.7%. The school also had strong performance in Algebra I, with 88.9% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 59.4%. Additionally, the school's special education students and low socioeconomic status students rank in the top 30-40% of Ohio middle schools in their respective categories. While the school has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism over the past few years, from 25.7% in 2022-2023 to 18.0% in 2024-2025, this is still higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Chesapeake Middle School generally outperforms the competition in terms of test scores and overall school rankings. For example, South Gallia Middle School, the closest comparable school at 19.86 miles away, has significantly lower test scores across the board compared to Chesapeake. While Chesapeake Middle School is performing well, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas like 8th grade math proficiency, which lags behind the state average. Continued efforts to address these areas could further solidify the school's position as a top-performing middle school in the region.
