Summary

Colerain Middle School is a public middle school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 528 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Northwest Local district. It ranks 661 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–26 — the 37th percentile, or 2 stars. That places it slightly above its own district (28th percentile) and just ahead of the other two Northwest Local middle schools, White Oak Middle School (36th percentile) and Pleasant Run Middle School (30th percentile). Its rank has been remarkably steady, holding between the 34th and 42nd percentile with 2 stars for a decade.

Academics are sharply split. Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 97.4% in 2025–26, far above the district (64.9%) and state (61.6%) and comparable to higher-ranked neighbors such as Ross Middle School and Bridgetown Middle School. Keep in mind Algebra I is taken by a subset of advanced students, so it does not reflect overall math performance. Most regular grade-level scores sit below state averages, and 7th grade math is the clearest red flag: only 19.4% proficient in 2025–26, down from 43.2% the year before. That is above the district's 17.1% but well below the state's 48.6%, Creekside Middle School (38.4%), Bridgetown (52%) and Ross (70%).

Chronic absenteeism was 28.9% in 2025–26 — much improved from 46.9% in 2021–22, but still above the district's 27.1% and far above Ross's 8.9%. Results also vary widely by group: gifted students rank at the 74th percentile (4 stars), while special education students sit at just the 3rd percentile, a serious gap worth raising with the school. The bottom line: Colerain is a stable, mid-tier school that outperforms its district and struggling neighbors such as North College Hill Middle School and Mt Healthy Junior High School, but trails the top nearby districts by wide margins in regular grade-level reading and math.
