Summary

Covington Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 with 183 students in Covington, Ohio, part of the Covington Exempted Village district, which ranks 317th of 773 Ohio districts (59th percentile, 3 stars). In 2025–26, the school ranked 338th of 1,046 ranked schools statewide (68th percentile, 3 stars) — above the state midpoint, but below a recent peak of 75th percentile in 2023–24, when it held 4 stars.

Test results are a bright spot: Covington outperformed Ohio in every reported 2025–26 subject and grade. Algebra I stands out at 100% proficient (vs. 61.6% state, 78% district), with 100%, 100%, 94.4% and 100% over the last four reported years — though the school is small, so those percentages can swing from year to year. Eighth-grade science (77.6% vs. 61.2% state) and sixth-grade math (73.6% vs. 56.2%) are also strong, while seventh-grade ELA (63.0% vs. 62.7%) is essentially at the state average. Compared with nearby schools, Covington sits mid-pack: Versailles Middle School posted 95.6% in 8th-grade science, 98% in 8th-grade math and 94.4% in 8th-grade ELA, and Miami East Junior High School reached 90.4% and 81% in science and math. Covington's 8th-grade science is competitive with Butler Middle School (76.9%) and close to Tippecanoe Middle School (79.5%), and it generally exceeds Sidney Middle School, Milton-Union Middle School and Piqua.

Two areas to watch are attendance and staffing. Chronic absenteeism was 13.7% in 2025–26 — improved from 14.9% a year earlier and 31.7% in 2021–22, but still above the district's 9.3% average and well above top regional peers such as Versailles (1.5%), Tippecanoe (5.4%), Miami East (5.8%) and Butler (7.4%). It remains far better than Sidney (22.9%), Troy Junior High School (22.8%), Piqua Junior High School (22.4%) and Milton-Union (18.9%). The student-teacher ratio is 26.1, the highest among nearby schools with reported data and up sharply from 16.5 in 2022–23. Low-SES and White student subgroup rankings (both 55th percentile) trail the school's 68th-percentile overall rank, and the low-SES percentile slid from 68th to 61st to 55th over three years.
