Summary

St Clairsville Middle School in Saint Clairsville, OH, serves 497 students in grades 5–8 as part of the St Clairsville-Richland City district. It currently ranks 111 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools for 2025–2026 — the 89th percentile with 4 stars — the highest rank, percentile, and star rating among nearby middle schools, which range from 218 to 434 students and rank between the 35th and 69th percentiles. That standing reflects a sustained climb from the 54th–60th percentile in the mid-2010s to the 79th–89th percentile since 2018–19. The district itself ranks 161 of 773 (79th percentile, 4 stars), also the strongest locally.

English language arts is the school's clearest strength: it scored above the state and led every nearby middle school in all four tested grades — 86.0 in 5th, 71.0 in 6th, 81.4 in 7th, and 83.1 in 8th, versus state rates of 70.4, 56.0, 62.7, and 58.3. Math is well above state too, especially in grades 6–8 (75.0, 76.3, and 79.8), though Bellaire Middle School edges it out in 5th and 8th grade math. Science is above state but not the local best, with Barnesville Middle School ahead in both 5th and 8th grade. The Algebra I end-of-course score of 100% is best read cautiously: it may reflect a small or selected group, and several nearby schools also report 100%.

Chronic absenteeism is 19.0% — lower than every nearby middle school — but still above the district's 16.8% and equal to roughly one in five students; it has improved from 21.3% and 20.9% in prior years. Subgroup results are strong and improving: 90th percentile for female students, 87th for male students, 85th for low-income students, and 72nd for special education students, with notable recent gains among low-income and special education students. Per-student spending was $9,844 in 2018–19, the highest in the local comparison, while the student–teacher ratio of 17.8 is mid-pack — so class size alone does not explain the results.
