Summary

Harrison Middle School is a large public middle school in Harrison, Ohio, serving grades 6–8 in the Southwest Local district with 1,069 students — more than any other middle school nearby. In 2025–2026 it ranked 251st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools, the 76th percentile with 4 stars, its best showing in the decade of history available and an improvement from 324th (69th percentile, 3 stars) the year before. Its district ranks 295th of 773 Ohio districts (62nd percentile, 3 stars), so the school is currently performing above its district context.

Nearly all test results are above the state average. Science 8 scored 81.9 against Ohio's 61.2, and ELA is above state in all three grades (68.2, 74.8, and 75.9). Advanced math is excellent, with Algebra I at 95.5 and Geometry at 100. The glaring exception is 7th-grade math, which dropped to 46.0 — below Ohio's 48.6 — after scoring 66.1 the year before; that decline is the school's clearest academic concern. Compared with nearby schools, Harrison trails Ross Middle School (69th; 93rd percentile), Bridgetown Middle School (147th; 86th), and Rapid Run Middle School (207th; 80th), is roughly even with Taylor Middle School (247th; 76th), and is ahead of White Oak Middle School, Pleasant Run Middle School, Colerain Middle School, Winton Woods Middle School, Mt Healthy Junior High School, and North College Hill Middle School.

Chronic absenteeism improved to 22.2% from 28.3%, but it remains above the district's 18.8% and above Ross (8.9%), Rapid Run (16.0%), Taylor (18.6%), and Bridgetown (18.9%). Subgroup results are uneven: low-income students sit at the 62nd percentile (up from 46th), while special education (42nd) and Hispanic students (45th) trail the school overall. Notably, Harrison has the highest student-teacher ratio (23.9) and the lowest per-student spending ($5,960 in 2018–2019, an older figure) among nearby schools, yet outperforms most of them.
