Summary

Johnstown Middle School is a 6–8 school in Johnstown, Ohio, serving 412 students as part of the Johnstown-Monroe Local district in a moderate-poverty community where about 23.5% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, it ranked 75th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 93rd percentile, with a 5-star rating — the best result in its recent history and up from 4-star years in the 86th–89th percentile. That puts it above its own district (85th percentile, 4 stars) and behind only Granville Middle School and New Albany Middle School among nearby schools, while clearly ahead of Heritage Middle School, Centerburg Middle School, Licking Heights Middle School, and Northridge Middle School. Test proficiency is strong almost everywhere: Math 7 (81.8%), Math 8 (83.9%), Science 8 (84.8%), ELA 7 (84.6%), and ELA 8 (84.5%) all beat state averages by wide margins, and Algebra I has been at 100% for four consecutive years. It is competitive with Big Walnut Middle School and often stronger in science and middle-grade math.

Subgroup results are a highlight: gifted and talented students rank 99th percentile, and low-socioeconomic-status students rank 91st percentile. Special education students slipped to the 51st percentile in 2025–2026 after two stronger years — the main item to watch. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 27.6% in 2021–2022 to 14.0% in 2025–2026, now below the district's 16.7%, though still above more affluent neighbors such as Granville Middle School (8.0%) and New Albany Middle School (10.9%).

One of the most horrible principles in licking county . My family was warned about the middle school principal when coming to this town, but gave the benefit of the doubt , but boy was the community right . Close Quote
