Summary

Edison Middle School (formerly Berlin-Milan Middle School) is a grades 4–8 building of 525 students in Berlin Heights, Ohio, serving the Edison Local (formerly Berlin-Milan) district. It ranks 244th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025-26, slightly above its own district (193rd of 773, 75th percentile). The school has been a consistent top-quartile performer, though its long-run trend shows a modest drift downward from a 5-star peak in 2016-17 through 2018-19, settling into a 4-star band since 2020-21. Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply from 23.8% in 2021-22 to 11.5% in 2025-26, and the school outperforms its district in every reported year.

Academically, Edison beats the state average in every grade and subject reported. Its 8th grade ELA proficiency of 81.0% is the highest among nearby schools, 22.7 points above the state average. Fifth grade math (79.6%) and ELA (81.6%) are also strong. Among peers, Edison leads Amherst Junior High School, Firelands Middle School, and McCormick Middle School on 8th grade ELA, but trails them on 7th grade math, where its 51.9% is only 3.3 points above the state. Eighth grade math (61.1%) is mid-table. The school’s low-income students rank exceptionally high—94th percentile in 2025-26 and 98th in 2024-25, both 5 stars—well above the school’s overall standing. However, special education fell from the 60th percentile (2023-24) to the 35th percentile, 2 stars (2025-26), and gifted/talented dropped from the 90th percentile (2021-22) to the 43rd percentile (2023-24). Algebra I proficiency was 100% for four years, but similar results appear at several nearby schools.

Edison’s soft spot is 7th grade math, which fell from 75.0% to 51.9% in 2025-26—a 23-point drop—while the state average barely moved. Math erosion concentrates in grades 7–8. The overall 2025-26 dip looks broad, with losses in 4th math, 7th math, 8th math, 5th ELA, 7th ELA, and science. Gender results crossed over: boys held steady in the 79th–82nd percentile, while girls swung from 91st percentile (5 stars) to 70th percentile (4 stars). Attendance remains a bright spot. Bottom line: Edison is a solidly above-average, top-quartile school with an unusually strong record serving low-income students, an outstanding 8th grade ELA program, and dramatically improving attendance. Its vulnerabilities are specific: 7th–8th grade math, special education outcomes, and gifted/talented results, with 2025-26 representing a broad step back from a strong 2024-25.
