Summary
Bunsold Middle School is a grades 7–8 school serving 862 students in the Marysville Exempted Village district in Marysville, Ohio, a growing suburban community northwest of Columbus. It is a solid, above-average school: a consistent 4-star rating and an 83rd-percentile statewide rank in 2025–26 (182nd of 1,046), with its percentile staying between the 76th and 89th over the past decade — steady rather than rising or falling. The district itself ranks 206th of 773 Ohio districts.
Academically, Bunsold exceeds Ohio averages in every tested subject. Algebra I is a standout at 99.2% proficient, far above the district's 79.8% and the state's 61.6%. ELA is strong too: 80.9% in ELA 7 and 75.7% in ELA 8. Math and science are the relative gaps compared with nearby high performers — Math 7 at 63.4%, Math 8 at 66.7%, and Science 8 at 77.1%, trailing most Olentangy and Dublin schools such as Hyatts Middle School, Henry Karrer Middle School, and Willard Grizzell Middle School, as well as nearby Fairbanks Middle School. Bunsold also reports no Geometry End-of-Course result, while several nearby schools report Geometry at or near 100%, which may point to a different advanced math pathway.
The clearest non-academic difference is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 16.4%, roughly double Fairbanks (7.9%), Hyatts (7.6%), and Karrer (6.7%), and higher than same-district Creekview Intermediate Elementary School at 9.4%. Class sizes are the largest among nearby schools, with a 21.4 student-teacher ratio (up from 17.9 in 2022–23), and 2018–19 per-student spending was $7,217, below most comparables. Subgroup results are uneven and slipped in 2025–26: low-income students rank 67th percentile and English learners 61st, both 3 stars. Overall, Bunsold is a reliable, above-state school whose biggest opportunities are attendance, math and science, and consistency across student groups.
