Summary

Learwood Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Avon Lake, Ohio, serving 557 students as part of the Avon Lake City district. It is a consistently top-decile Ohio middle school: in 2025–26 it ranked 57th of 1,046 middle schools statewide (95th percentile, 5 stars), while its district ranks 53rd of 773 (93rd percentile). Its history shows strength but not a flat line — it peaked at 22nd statewide in 2017–18, dipped to 121st in 2024–25, then rebounded. Learwood's own ranking sits slightly above its already high-performing district's relative position.

Test results are well above state averages, with ELA and Algebra I as standout strengths. In 2025–26, 7th Grade ELA proficiency was 92.7% (state: 62.7%) — the top of its peer group, edging out Rocky River Middle School, Bay Middle School, and Ranger High Technical Academy. Algebra I End of Course reached 99.1%, about 10.8 points above its own district and far above the state's 61.6%, suggesting a strong advanced-math pipeline. 7th Grade Math (83.1%) and 8th Grade Science (83.2%) also beat state levels and most nearby schools. The relative soft spot is 8th Grade Math at 74.5% — still well above the state's 52.0%, but trailing Rocky River Middle School (83.0%), Bay Middle School (86.4%), and Ranger High Technical Academy (93.0%), and it has swung between 58.0% and 74.5% over four years.

Subgroup results show real effectiveness: female students rank in the 98th percentile, Hispanic students in the 98th, and special education students jumped to the 90th percentile from the 77th a year earlier. Low-income students remain above average at the 81st percentile, though down from the 97th in 2023–24 — a trend worth monitoring. The clearest warning sign is chronic absenteeism, which has nearly doubled from 10.5% in 2022–23 to 19.0% in 2025–26, now above the district (15.4%) and above Bay Middle School (8.0%), Ranger High Technical Academy (8.5%), and Rocky River Middle School (9.5%). Learwood also produces strong outcomes efficiently, with the comparison group's lowest reported per-student spending ($7,244 in 2018–19) and a mid-pack student-teacher ratio of 15.5.
