Summary
Versailles Middle School is a 5th–8th grade school in the small northwest Ohio community of Versailles, serving 376 students as part of the Versailles Exempted Village district. It is one of Ohio's top middle schools: in 2025–2026 it ranked 6th of 1,046 middle schools statewide (99th percentile, 5 stars), and its district ranks 15th of 773 districts (98th percentile). That standing is not new. After a dip in 2018–2019, the school has ranked in the top 1–2% every year since, climbing from 13th in 2020–2021 to 8th in 2023–2024 and 6th in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.
Test results are the clearest sign of what families can expect. Versailles beat Ohio proficiency rates in every grade and subject reported, usually by 25–46 percentage points, and reached 100% proficiency in both Geometry and Algebra I End-of-Course exams (state rates were 43.3% and 61.6%). Among nearby schools, only St Henry Middle School comes close; St Henry is sometimes slightly higher in 5th and 6th grade, while Versailles leads in 7th and 8th grade math, ELA, and science. Ansonia Middle School is the next strongest nearby, but its proficiency rates generally fall in the 69–85% range, and most other area schools score near or below state averages. Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism is just 1.5%, compared with 22.4% at Piqua Junior High School and 22.8% at Troy Junior High School.
Interestingly, these results come with larger classes. Versailles' student-teacher ratio is 20.8, higher than most nearby schools, including St Henry (17.9) and Milton-Union Middle School (20.7), suggesting class size alone does not drive the school's success. Per-student spending was $9,727 in 2018–2019, among the highest in the comparison group, yet St Henry achieves similar results for less. The school also performs strongly across the student groups the state reports, ranking in the top 1–2% for male students, female students, and low-income students, with low-income students at 7th of 996 in 2025–2026. Keep in mind that some data is dated or missing: spending is from 2018–2019, ratios from 2024–2025, and free/reduced lunch percentages are not available.
