Summary

Trotwood-Madison Middle School is the only middle school in the Trotwood-Madison City district, serving 548 students in grades 6–8 on North Union Road in Trotwood, Ohio, a city just west of Dayton. By state ranking it sits in the bottom tier of Ohio middle schools — 909th of 1,046 (13th percentile, 1 star) for 2025-2026 — and it has never risen above the 14th percentile in ten years of reporting. Proficiency across the six core grade-level tests ranged from 9.8% to 25.6%, against state rates of 48.6% to 62.7%, and the school's scores match its district's almost point for point.

Compared with nearby schools, the picture is mixed. Trotwood-Madison is comfortably ahead of the three Dayton City middle schools, and it is statistically tied with Northridge Middle School (903rd) — yet its chronic absenteeism is 47.0% versus Northridge's 39.2%, the clearest difference between two otherwise very similar schools. The standout bright spot is Algebra I: 84.6% of students tested proficient, well above the state's 61.6% and sustained across three years, even though only a subset of students takes it. Meanwhile special education students rank in the 0th–2nd percentile and gifted students in the 4th–9th percentile. The school spends the most per student in its comparison group ($10,658), while Brookville Intermediate School spends far less and ranks 132nd statewide, suggesting funding is not the limiting factor.

For parents, the most useful takeaways are that attendance has improved sharply — from 63.9% chronically absent in 2021-2022 down to 47.0%, though it has plateaued — and that grade 8 has gained in math, ELA, and science while grades 6 and 7 have been flat or uneven. Free/reduced-price lunch data is not reported for this school, so its poverty composition cannot be directly compared with nearby schools.
