Summary
Triad Middle School is a grades 5–8 school in North Lewisburg, OH, serving 233 students in the Triad Local district. In 2025–26, it ranked 340th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), above the state median but below nearby Fairbanks Middle School (94th percentile, 5 stars), Jonathan Alder Junior High (88th, 4 stars), West Liberty-Salem Middle School (86th, 4 stars), and Bunsold Middle School (83rd, 4 stars). Triad is comparable to Benjamin Logan Middle School and Mechanicsburg Middle School (both 73rd) and ahead of Bellefontaine Middle School (51st) and Urbana Junior High School (41st). It improved from 63rd percentile in 2024–25 to 67th, though below its 2015–16 peak of 81st.
Academically, Triad is above the Ohio state average in most tested grades and subjects. Its standout strength is 8th grade math at 73.2% proficient, 21.2 points above the state, beating several higher-ranked nearby schools. 5th grade ELA is also strong at 81.4%, tied with Creekview Intermediate Elementary School and above the state. The clearest concern is 8th grade ELA at 51.9%, below the state’s 58.3% and lower than every nearby grade-8 school except Urbana. Chronic absenteeism improved from 21.8% in 2022–23 to 12.8% in 2025–26, now below the district’s 17.7% and better than several nearby middle schools, though higher than top local performers like Canaan Middle School. About 50.21% of students were economically disadvantaged (free/reduced lunch), similar to Bellefontaine and below Urbana, yet Triad outperforms both in most tested areas—a positive value-added signal. The student-teacher ratio is 17:1, relatively favorable.
Subgroup results show effectiveness: female students ranked in the 72nd percentile, low socioeconomic status students in the 67th, special education students in the 59th (up from 16th in 2024–25), and male students in the 60th. But with 233 students, percentages can swing noticeably from one cohort to the next, so single-year changes should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, Triad is a solidly above-average school that serves a relatively high-poverty population and often outperforms similarly challenged peers, though it is not at the top of its immediate regional group. If the school targets one academic area for improvement, 8th grade ELA stands out.
