Summary

Centerburg Middle School is a public middle school serving 249 students in grades 6-8 in Centerburg, Ohio, which is part of the Centerburg Local District. This district is ranked 214 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centerburg Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in Ohio State Tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 68.8% proficiency in 8th grade Science, compared to the state average of 63%. The school also has an exceptional Algebra I performance, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better on the end-of-course exam in the last three school years, significantly outpacing the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's performance across various student subgroups, including female and male students, is strong, with the school ranking in the top 25% of Ohio middle schools in these categories.

While Centerburg Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated in recent years, the school's spending per student ($8,039 in 2018-2019) is lower than the state average, yet it maintains a relatively high student-teacher ratio (27.6 in 2023-2024). This suggests the school is able to achieve strong academic outcomes despite resource constraints. However, the school's performance for gifted and talented students is an area of concern, with the school ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools in this subgroup for the past three years. Overall, Centerburg Middle School is a high-performing school that effectively serves students from diverse backgrounds, but it could benefit from further investigation and improvement in areas such as chronic absenteeism and the educational experience for its high-achieving students.
