Summary

Grand Valley Middle School is a public middle school located in Orwell, Ohio, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 250 students. The school is part of the Grand Valley Local District, which is ranked 431 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grand Valley Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels, with 77% proficiency in 8th grade Science compared to the state average of 63%. However, the school's performance in Mathematics, particularly in the upper grades, is a concern, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students and White students generally performing better than the school's overall student population. The school's performance for Special Education and Disabled students is a concern, while its performance for Gifted and Talented students is relatively stronger.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Grand Valley Middle School generally performs better than the lower-ranked schools in the region, such as Southington Middle School and Geneva Middle School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Chardon Middle School and Champion Middle School. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.2% to 27.7%, are a significant concern and may be contributing to its relatively weaker performance in certain subject areas.
