Summary

Spencerville Middle School is a public school in Spencerville, Ohio, serving grades 5–8 with 315 students in the Spencerville Local district, in a northwest Ohio area that also includes Lima, Celina, Wapakoneta, and St. Marys. It is a consistent performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 152nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 85th percentile, with 4 stars — and its percentile has risen from 73 in 2015–2016 to 85 today, after peaking at 87 in 2024–2025.

Math is the school's clearest strength. Proficiency in grades 5–8 runs 23–29 points above the state average, and Algebra I has been at 100% proficient for four consecutive listed years. In grade 6 math, Spencerville's 85.1% tops Bath Middle School (67.2%), Wapakoneta Middle School (77.5%), St. Marys Middle School (75.2%), Elida Middle School (58.3%), Shawnee Middle School (58.0%), and Lima North Middle School (15.2%). Reading is solid too, with grades 5 and 7 above 86%. The clear outlier is 8th-grade science at 61.9% — only 0.7 points above the state and a sharp drop from 82.5% the year before.

Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 15.4% in 2021–2022 to 9.5%, lower than every nearby school except Celina Middle School (8.7%). Low-income students rank in the 90th percentile with 5 stars, and female students also reach the 90th percentile. The student-teacher ratio was 21 in 2024–2025, higher than most neighbors, and the per-student spending figure ($9,704) is from 2018–2019 and should be read with caution. Bath Middle ranks slightly higher overall and leads in 8th-grade science and ELA, while Lima West Middle School sits in a very different tier, with 8th-grade math at 10.2% and absenteeism at 53.8%. Overall: strong math, solid reading, improving attendance, and one area — 8th-grade science — worth watching.
