Summary

Crooksville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Crooksville, Ohio, with 320 students. The school is part of the Crooksville Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 570 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crooksville Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.0% to 20.3% in recent years, are significantly higher than the state average, indicating an issue with student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 30.2% in 8th grade math to 61.3% in 8th grade science, compared to state averages of 47.6% and 63%, respectively.

When comparing Crooksville Middle School to nearby middle schools, such as Sheridan Middle School, which is about 16 miles away, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. However, one bright spot for Crooksville Middle School is its Algebra I performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 60% to 100% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This suggests the school may be doing a better job in supporting advanced math students.
