Summary

Goshen Middle School is a 6th–8th grade school in Goshen, Ohio, serving 660 students as part of the Goshen Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 320th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (69th percentile, 3 stars), an improvement from 359th the prior year. Its Goshen Local district ranks 190th of 773 Ohio districts.

Academically, the school performs above Ohio averages in nearly every tested subject. Eighth-grade math is the standout: 83% proficient versus 52% statewide, and 76.8% in science versus 61.2% statewide. Seventh-grade math (51.1% vs. 48.6%) and sixth-grade ELA (56.4% vs. 56.0%) are closer to the state line. Among nine nearby ranked middle schools, Goshen places sixth: ahead of Batavia Middle School, Blanchester Middle School, and Clermont Northeastern Middle School, but behind Indian Hill Middle School, Loveland Middle School, Kings Junior High School, Milford Middle School, and Little Miami Middle School.

Context matters here. About 53.6% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2023–2024 — far more than Kings, Little Miami, or Milford, which are all under 28% — yet Goshen still beats state averages. The school ranks especially high for Hispanic students (93rd percentile, 5 stars), low-income students (89th, 4 stars), and special education students (79th, 4 stars), while gifted-student performance swung down from the 94th to the 44th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern at 21.3% in 2025–2026, above the district's 15.9% and above most neighbors, though it has improved from 28.2% in 2022–2023. The student–teacher ratio was 20:1, and per-student spending of $8,518 dates to 2018–2019.
