Summary

Milton-Union Middle School serves 321 students in grades 6–8 in West Milton, Ohio, as the middle school for the Milton-Union Exempted Village district, and it ranked 589th of 1,046 Ohio schools (44th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 — below the state average and below most nearby middle schools.

The school's results are uneven. Eighth-grade science proficiency was 74.1%, above the state's 61.2%, and Algebra I End of Course proficiency was 95.7%, far above the state's 61.6% — though that figure likely reflects a selected group of accelerated students rather than all eighth graders. Grade-level math is weaker: 41.3% in 6th grade, 33.7% in 7th, and 41.9% in 8th, all below the state rates of 56.2%, 48.6%, and 52.0%. Sixth-grade English language arts was 43.3% against a state rate of 56.0%, while 8th-grade ELA (63.3%) came in above the state's 58.3%. By comparison, Butler Middle School — also enrolling 321 students — posted math and ELA proficiency rates 20 to 35 points higher in several grades, and Brookville Intermediate School and Tippecanoe Middle School rank in the 87th percentile.

The trend line is the bigger concern. Milton-Union sat at the 77th percentile in 2017–2018 and 71st in 2018–2019, then slid to 66th, 53rd, 51st, and 44th over the last four years, dropping from 4 stars to 2. No student subgroup ranks above the 45th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is a bright spot: it fell from 25.0% in 2024–2025 to 18.9% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 19.9%, but still above Butler's 7.4% and Brookville's 9.6%. The student-teacher ratio also jumped from 14.2 to 20.7 in one year, higher than most nearby schools. Only Trotwood-Madison Middle School (13th percentile) ranks lower locally; Covington Middle School, Tri-County North Middle School, and Morton Middle School all rank higher.
