Summary

Richmond Heights Middle School is a small public middle school at 447 Richmond Rd in Richmond Heights, Ohio, serving grades 7–8 with 137 students — roughly 68–69 per grade — as part of the Richmond Heights Local district near Cleveland.

In 2025–26 the school ranked 880th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (16th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranked 648th of 773. Across seven reported years it has never left the 13th–24th percentile band and has never earned more than one star. Proficiency trails the state in every grade-level subject: 7th grade math 13.8% versus 48.6% statewide, 8th grade math 15.9% versus 52.0%, 8th grade science 27.0% versus 61.2%, 7th grade ELA 44.8% versus 62.7%, and 8th grade ELA 23.5% versus 58.3%. The striking exception is Algebra I, where 63.2% of students were proficient — above the state's 61.6% and far above the district's 44.6%. That gap suggests a small accelerated group succeeds while the general math pipeline does not yet feed it.

Attendance is a relative strength: 26.0% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, better than the district's 30.9% and the third lowest among eleven nearby comparison schools — though it is the highest rate in the school's five-year series, up from 17.5% the year before. The student–teacher ratio of 26.8 is roughly double most neighbors, including Beachwood Middle School (13.5) and Mayfield Middle School (16.2). The most instructive comparison is Willowick Middle School, which serves a similarly high-poverty population but reaches the 41st percentile with 2 stars at a 13.2 ratio. Bottom line: genuine assets in Algebra I and attendance, real constraints in staffing and grade-level math and reading.
