Summary

Anthony Wayne Junior High School is a grades 7–8 school in Whitehouse, Ohio, a suburban community near Toledo, serving 666 students as part of Anthony Wayne Local. It is a top-decile, 5-star school — 35th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (97th percentile), its best rank in the decade of history available, in a district that ranks 22nd of 773 statewide.

Results are strong in every subject and every year. In 2025–2026, 7th grade math proficiency was 86.2 and 8th grade science 87.7 — roughly 25 to 38 points above the state in each tested subject. End-of-course exams in Biology, Geometry and Algebra I have posted 100% proficiency four years running; those are small, accelerated groups taking high school courses early, so read them as evidence that advanced students are exceptionally well served, not as a whole-school figure. Among nearby schools, only Perrysburg Junior High School is close, leading 8th grade math (84.5 vs. 80.6) while Anthony Wayne leads 8th grade science (87.7 vs. 87.4) and English (82.9 vs. 82.1). Chronic absenteeism fell from 29.8% to 6.9% in four years, better than Perrysburg's 9.2%.

What sets the school apart locally is efficiency: it achieves these results with the highest student–teacher ratio in the comparison set (20.1 vs. 16.4 at Perrysburg) and near-lowest per-pupil spending ($7,399), and the ratio has improved each year. The grades 5–6 feeder next door, Fallen Timbers Middle School, is similarly high-performing with just 4.2% chronic absenteeism, suggesting a durable pipeline. Watch items: 8th grade runs slightly softer than 7th; Hispanic students were the one reported subgroup well below the school's overall profile, at the 64th percentile; and low-income and special-education subgroup rankings eased modestly in 2025–2026 even as the school's overall rank improved.
