Summary

Dixie Middle School is a public middle school in New Lebanon, Ohio, serving 319 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the New Lebanon Local School District, which is ranked 480 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dixie Middle School consistently ranks in the middle range of Ohio middle schools, with proficiency rates on state tests generally below the state average but better than the district average. However, the school stands out for its strong performance on Algebra I end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates of 65-100% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's special education and disabled student subgroups also perform better than the overall school, ranking in the middle to upper-middle range of Ohio middle schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Dixie Middle School generally outperforms middle schools in the Dayton and Trotwood-Madison areas, but lags behind higher-performing districts like Northmont and Brookville, which have middle schools ranking in the top 30-40% of Ohio. One significant challenge for Dixie Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from around 20-29% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and likely contributes to the school's academic struggles.
