Summary

Wynford Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Bucyrus, Ohio, serving 252 students as part of the Wynford Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 413th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 61st percentile with 3 stars — up from the 53rd percentile the previous year, though still below its 2015–2016 high of the 79th percentile. The district itself ranks 254th of 773 Ohio districts, placing it in the 67th percentile with 3 stars. Overall, this is a solid, mid-to-upper Ohio middle school that has improved recently.

Compared with nearby schools, Wynford clearly outranks Bucyrus Middle School just 1.77 miles away (61st vs. 39th percentile), and it also beats Galion Middle School, River Valley Middle School, and Ulysses S. Grant Middle School. However, Seneca East Middle School, Upper Sandusky Middle School, Shelby Middle School, William Crawford Intermediate Schools, and Buckeye Central Middle School all rank higher overall. Wynford's enrollment of 252 is similar to Bucyrus and William Crawford but far smaller than Upper Sandusky (503) or Ulysses S. Grant (917). Because the school is small, test-score percentages can swing noticeably from one class to the next.

Academically, Wynford's clearest strength is 8th-grade math, where 79% of students were proficient — 27 points above the state average — and its Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 100%. Eighth-grade science (68.1%) is also above the state. The most obvious weak spot is 7th-grade math at 42.4% proficient, below the state's 48.6%. Chronic absenteeism is 16.2%, better than Bucyrus (26.7%) and Galion (21.0%) but above William Crawford (5.9%), Seneca East (6.2%), and Upper Sandusky (7.3%); it has also improved since 2021–2022. Gifted-and-talented students rank in the 94th percentile with 5 stars, a standout result, while low-income students rank in the 48th percentile with 2 stars — below the school's overall standing.
