Summary

Archbold Middle School is a 5th-through-8th grade school serving 345 students in Archbold, a small community in Northwest Ohio, and is part of the Archbold-Area Local district, which ranks 103rd of 773 Ohio districts. Statewide for 2025-2026, the school ranks 233rd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — 78th percentile, 4 stars — and it scores above the state average in every reported subject and grade.

That overall picture hides a sharp split by grade. The 5th and 7th grades post some of the region's highest math and ELA results — 7th grade math ranks first among the six nearby middle schools, and both grades land within a few points of Liberty Center Middle School, the top-ranked school in the area. The 6th and 8th grades are only modestly above the state. 8th grade science is the standout weakness: 62.7% proficient, just 1.5 points above the state and last among all seven nearby schools, down from 83.9% two years earlier. Eighth-grade reading and 6th-grade ELA are also mid-pack locally. Algebra I stands at 100% proficient, but every nearby school reports the same. Chronic absenteeism is 8.8%, second-lowest in the group, though it now sits above the district's rate for the first time in several years.

Two things stand out for parents to watch. First, results for students with disabilities (46th percentile, 2 stars) and low-income students (59th percentile, 3 stars) now fall well below the school's overall 78th percentile standing, and low-income results have slid from the 95th percentile three years ago. Second, the school reports 27.4 students per teacher, by far the highest among nearby schools and a large jump from 17.9 the year before — a figure worth confirming with the school. Even with this year's dip, the school's ten-year record of 84th-to-93rd percentile performance suggests a low point within a strong history rather than a change in direction.
