Hamilton Intermediate School

Public Grades 3-8

Summary

Hamilton Intermediate School is a public middle school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 695 students in grades 3-7 as part of the Hamilton Local school district. While the school generally performs well academically, with mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates exceeding state averages, it has seen a concerning rise in chronic absenteeism rates that warrant further attention.

One of the key strengths of Hamilton Intermediate School is its strong performance in mathematics and English Language Arts. In the 2024-2025 school year, 73.4% of 4th graders, 46.3% of 5th graders, and 54.4% of 6th graders scored proficient or better in mathematics, while 66.2% of 4th graders, 68.7% of 5th graders, and 56% of 6th graders scored proficient or better in English Language Arts. These results are notably higher than the state averages. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 57% in 2024-2025 is lower than the state average of 63.4%, suggesting an area for potential improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Hamilton Middle School, located just 0.15 miles away, has similar test scores and student demographics, while Groveport Madison Middle School Central and schools in the South-Western City school district generally have lower test scores. The most concerning trend, however, is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates at Hamilton Intermediate School, rising from 17.3% in 2023-2024 to 32.6% in 2024-2025, which is notably higher than the state average of 25%.
