Summary

Trimble Junior High is a middle school in Glouster, a small village in southeastern Ohio, serving 172 students in grades 7–8 as part of Trimble Local. In 2025–2026 it ranked 901st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — 14th percentile with 1 star — the lowest-ranked of the nearby middle schools, behind Crooksville Middle School (28th percentile), New Lexington Middle School (49th), Morgan Middle School (37th), Logan-Hocking Middle School (57th), Federal Hocking Middle School (46th), Athens Middle School (74th) and Nelsonville-York Junior High School (27th). Its rank percentile has fallen from 34th in 2020–2021 to 14th in 2025–2026, and it has held a 1-star rating since 2022–2023.

Chronic absenteeism is the most pressing day-to-day issue: 43.2% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, up from 26.7% in 2022–2023, the highest rate among the comparison schools (Morgan 22.1%, Federal Hocking 22.9%, Logan-Hocking 23.7%, Crooksville 27.0%, New Lexington 27.7%, Athens 30.4%, The Plains Intermediate School 19.9%); only Nelsonville-York came close at 42.0%. Test scores are at or near the bottom of the group in every subject and grade tested: 3% of 8th graders were proficient in math (state: 52%), 16% in 7th-grade math (48.6%), 30% in 7th-grade ELA (62.7%), 26% in 8th-grade ELA (58.3%) and 34% in 8th-grade science (61.2%). Algebra I proficiency was 43.8% — above the district's 24.4% but below the state's 61.6% and every nearby school that reported scores.

Subgroup results are consistently low: low-income students ranked at the 14th percentile statewide, special education students at the 10th percentile (2024–2025), female students at the 9th and male students at the 11th. Resources do not appear to explain the gap — Trimble spent $10,120 per student in 2018–2019, the most among nearby schools, and had a student–teacher ratio of 11.4 in 2024–2025, lower than most peers — yet outcomes remain at the bottom of the region, and the Trimble Local district overall ranks 686th of 773 Ohio districts (11th percentile, 1 star). Note that free/reduced-price lunch data were suppressed, and the spending figures are several years old.
