Summary

New Albany Middle School in New Albany, OH, serves 768 students in grades 7–8 as part of the New Albany-Plain Local district. In 2025-26, it ranked 50th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools—the 95th percentile—with 5 stars. It has been top-decile every year shown and earned 5 stars in 7 of the last 10 years, rising from the 81st percentile in 2015-16 to the 95th. It is the highest-ranked school in its nearby comparison group, ahead of Gahanna East Middle School (92nd) and Licking Heights Middle School (45th).

Test performance is well above state averages. In 2025-26, 8th grade science was 85.1% proficient versus 61.2% statewide; 7th grade math was 74.7% versus 48.6%; 8th grade math was 86.6% versus 52.0%; 7th grade ELA was 89.0% versus 62.7%; and 8th grade ELA was 81.9% versus 58.3%. End-of-course results are exceptional: Biology 100%, Geometry 100%, and Algebra I 97.9%, compared with state rates of 67.0%, 43.3%, and 61.6%. Gahanna East Middle School, the closest peer, trails in all these grade-level tests. Licking Heights Middle School, the only nearby 7–8 school, is far behind in core proficiency. The one relative weak spot is 7th grade math: 74.7% trails the district’s 82.9% and the school’s own 8th grade math rate of 86.6%, though it remains well above the state and nearby schools.

Chronic absenteeism is 10.9%, below the district’s 11.2% and lower than most nearby middle schools, though slightly above Gahanna East Middle School (10.2%) and the feeder New Albany Intermediate School (7.0%); the recent uptick from 9.4% to 10.9% is worth monitoring. The school ranks highly for most student groups, including special education students (99th percentile), English Language Learner students (96th), female students (97th), and male students (90th). The low socio-economic status subgroup is at the 78th percentile—still 4 stars and above the state average, but the lowest current subgroup and down from the 84th percentile in 2023-24. Data limitations include missing free/reduced lunch information for the Middle and spending data from 2018-19, but the overall pattern—top statewide rank, strong test proficiency, exceptional end-of-course results, and broad subgroup effectiveness—is clear.
