Summary

Bethel-Tate Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Bethel, OH, serving 298 students as part of Bethel-Tate Local, a small rural community where roughly half of students were economically disadvantaged in 2024–25. In 2025–26 it ranked 278th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 73rd percentile, 4 stars — while its district ranked 275th of 773 districts, at the 64th percentile with 3 stars, making the middle school a relative bright spot compared with its own district.

Academically, the school exceeded Ohio's state proficiency rate in every reported tested area in 2025–26. The widest margins came in Algebra I (100% proficiency versus the state's 61.6%, and a four-year streak at 100%), 8th-grade math (70.6% vs. 52.0%), 6th-grade math (72.8% vs. 56.2%), and 8th-grade science (75.6% vs. 61.2%). ELA was solid but less dominant, at 60.9%–69.8% across grades 6–8. Locally, Milford Middle School and Nagel Middle School lead in ELA and several math and science measures, while Bethel-Tate stays ahead of Clermont Northeastern Middle School, West Clermont Middle School, Felicity-Franklin Local Junior High School, and New Richmond Middle School, and sits close to Batavia Middle School, Mt Orab Middle School, and Fayetteville-Perry Middle School.

Results for specific student groups are a strength: in 2025–26 the school ranked in the 86th percentile statewide for special education students and the 78th percentile for low-income students, notable given its roughly 50% economically disadvantaged enrollment. Staffing is favorable, with a 14.1 student-teacher ratio that is better than most nearby schools, and per-pupil spending of $5,861 in 2018–19 was the lowest among the listed nearby schools. The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: it improved from about 30–31% in 2021–22 and 2022–23 to 21.7% in 2024–25, then rose to 25.3% in 2025–26, above the district's 22.1% and higher than Milford (17.2%), Nagel (12.8%), and most other nearby schools. Overall rank has slipped too, from the 82nd percentile in 2022–23 to the 73rd in 2025–26.
