Summary

Riverdale Middle School in Mt Blanchard, OH is a grades 6–8 school serving 208 students (about 69 per grade) in the small, rural Riverdale Local district in northwest Ohio, where it ranks 591st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 43rd percentile, or two stars — almost exactly matching its own district's 42nd-percentile standing. Ten years ago the school sat in the 68th percentile, so the long-term direction has been downward, though a school this small can swing widely from one year to the next.

Results are sharply split by grade. In 2025-26, 7th grade math was 75.9% — 27 points above the state and among the top three in the local group — while 8th grade math was just 29.1%, about 23 points below the state and the lowest among ten nearby middle schools. Following the same students shows the current 8th graders fell more than 20 points in math during their final year while the state average rose. Algebra I is the one consistent bright spot, beating both the district and state every year on record, though it slipped from 91.7% to 73.3%, and several neighboring schools post higher Algebra I results.

Chronic absenteeism is 14.1% — roughly double the rate at the highest-ranked neighbors such as Bluffton Middle School, Liberty-Benton Middle School, and Van Buren Middle School — and every school in this group above the 80th percentile keeps absenteeism under 8%. Classes average 20.8 students, the largest among the area's full-size middle schools, though that ratio has improved three years running. Special education students rank at the 17th percentile and female students dropped from the 54th to the 34th percentile this year. Riverdale spends $8,671 per student (2018-19) — more than top-ranked Liberty-Benton — so money and class size don't explain the gap.
