Summary

Newcomerstown Middle School serves 182 students in grades 6–8 in Newcomerstown, Ohio, as part of the Newcomerstown Exempted Village district. Parents should know the school generally performs better than its own district: Newcomerstown Middle School ranked 486th of 1,046 Ohio schools (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, while the district ranked 469th of 773 (39th percentile, 2 stars). Class sizes are small — the student-teacher ratio was 12.1 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby middle schools — and per-student spending of $9,991 (2018–2019) was higher than most neighbors. About 59% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–2024.

Test results are mixed. Eighth grade science (74.5% proficient) and 7th grade ELA (68.5%) beat the state's 61.2% and 62.7%, and Algebra I stands out at 90.9% proficient, far above the district's 57.4% and the state's 61.6%. The concern is 8th grade math: only 30% of students were proficient, versus 52% statewide and 35.4% in the district, and below every nearby school with comparable data. That subject has fallen from 59.6% in 2023–2024 to 38.3% in 2024–2025 to 30% in 2025–2026. Sixth grade math sits at the state average (56.2%), and 7th grade math (50%) is slightly above the state.

Chronic absenteeism was 14.1% in 2025–2026 — better than the district's 21.2% and lower than Joseph Welty Middle School, Claymont Middle School, Buckeye Trail Middle School, Cambridge Middle School, and Tuscarawas Middle School, though higher than Dover Middle School and Ridgewood Middle School and on par with East Muskingum Middle School. The school serves low-income students well: that group ranked in the 71st percentile (4 stars), and special education students ranked above average at the 57th percentile. Results are more uneven for other groups, including female students at the 46th percentile. Overall, Newcomerstown Middle is a small, relatively well-resourced school with strong reading, science, and advanced-math results, but 8th grade math deserves attention.
