Summary

Gibsonburg Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Gibsonburg, Ohio, with 157 students, part of the Gibsonburg Exempted Village district. It ranks 551st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools for 2025–2026 — the 47th percentile, or 2 stars — up slightly from 2024–2025 but below where it sat in 2017–2019. It is also the smallest middle school among the nearby schools compared here, which means year-to-year percentages can swing noticeably from one small group of students to the next.

Its academic profile is uneven rather than uniformly weak. Sixth- and seventh-grade math are above the state average (64.2% and 54.3% proficient versus 56.2% and 48.6%), and 8th-grade science is above state at 65% versus 61.2%. But all three ELA grades and 8th-grade math fall below state, with 8th-grade math at 37.2% versus 52% — the school's clearest pressure point. Locally, 8th-grade math proficiency runs 73.6% at Eastwood Middle School, 59% at Genoa Area Middle School, and 77.8% at Woodmore Middle School. The biggest anomaly is Algebra I: proficiency fell to 43.8% after three years at 90.5–100%, far below the state's 61.6% and below nearby schools that report 90–100%.

Chronic absenteeism is 12.6%, above the district's 9.4% and mid-pack locally — better than Fremont Middle School at 24.7% and Lake Middle School at 20%, but worse than Eastwood Middle School at 7.1%. The student-teacher ratio of 22.4 is the highest among nearby schools, where ratios range from 12.6 to 19.3. Relative effectiveness with low-income, male, and gifted students is at or above the school's overall level, while female students trail. With only 157 students, single-year swings should be read alongside multi-year trends.
