Summary

Allen East Middle School is a grades 5–8 school serving 334 students in the small rural community of Harrod, Ohio, part of Allen East Local. In 2025–2026 it ranked 472 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (55th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 393 of 773 (49th percentile, 2 stars). That mid-pack standing is below the school's own recent peak: Allen East sat in the 72nd–80th percentile from 2018–2019 through 2023–2024, then slipped to 65 in 2024–2025 and 55 in 2025–2026, with its star rating falling from 4 to 3.

Test results are uneven rather than uniformly weak. Allen East is above the Ohio average in Science 5 (67.6%), Science 8 (65.5%), Math 7 (56.5%), Math 8 (62.9%), ELA 7 (70.1%), and Algebra I — where it reported 100% proficiency for four straight years, a standout figure that likely reflects a small advanced cohort. It falls below the state in Math 5 (56.7%), Math 6 (49.4%), ELA 5 (69.1%), ELA 6 (46.4%), and ELA 8 (52.9%), with sixth-grade ELA the weakest result. Across the ten tests, Allen East averaged about 59.7% versus roughly 58.7% statewide, a far narrower edge than in 2023–2024 (about 70.0% vs. 56.6%). Among ranked nearby schools, Allen East places 8th of 10: behind Bluffton Middle School, Columbus Grove Middle School, Pandora-Gilboa Middle School, and Bath Middle School, but ahead of Lima West Middle School and Upper Scioto Valley Middle School.

Two non-test measures stand out. Chronic absenteeism is 17.3%, above the district's 14.3% and well above Columbus Grove (5.1%), Bluffton (6.0%), and Pandora-Gilboa (8.2%), though lower than Elida Middle School (22.5%) and the Lima schools (roughly 50% or more). The student-teacher ratio is 25.6, up from 20.6 in 2022–2023 and higher than nearly every nearby school with comparable or better rankings. Subgroup rankings have also weakened: low-SES students fell from the 86th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th in 2025–2026, and special education students from the 51st to the 21st, both now below the school's overall 55. Free/reduced-lunch data for Allen East was not available in the provided file, so economic comparisons with neighbors cannot be made directly.
