Summary

Benjamin Logan Middle School is a grades 5–8 school serving 496 students in Bellefontaine, OH, part of the Benjamin Logan Local district, which ranks 313th of 773 Ohio districts. The school itself ranked 285th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–26 — 73rd percentile, 4 stars — above its district and in the upper portion of the state. Its rank percentile has slipped, however, from 82nd in 2021–22 and 2022–23 to 79th, 75th, and 73rd since. Every nearby comparable school sits in another district; the closest is Bellefontaine Middle School, 6.6 miles away.

Academically, Benjamin Logan Middle School exceeded Ohio proficiency rates in every reported tested area in 2025–26. Science is the standout: 5th grade 80.5% and 8th grade 82.4%, versus state rates of 62.7% and 61.2%; only West Liberty-Salem Middle School's 8th-grade science (91.3%) was higher locally. Algebra I has reached 100% proficiency four years running. Upper-grade math is the weak spot: 7th-grade math (54.5%) and 8th-grade math (57.4%) beat state averages but trail the school's own recent results and lag Bunsold Middle School, West Liberty-Salem, Indian Lake Middle School, and Triad Middle School in 8th-grade math. Against Triad, results were mixed; Benjamin Logan clearly outperformed North Union Middle School, Kenton Middle School, and Bellefontaine on most measures.

Attendance is a major differentiator: chronic absenteeism was 8.4% in 2025–26, down from 21.3% in 2021–22 and lower than every nearby school, including Bunsold (16.4%) and Bellefontaine (24.0%). Subgroup data show stronger relative results for female students (80th percentile) and special education students (60th) than for male students (62nd) and low-income students (64th, down from 83rd in 2023–24). Low-income enrollment has risen sharply, from 22.27% in 2022–23 to 41.94% in 2024–25. Overall, this is a strong, above-average school with excellent attendance and standout science, worth watching for upper-grade math and its recent rank slide.
