Summary

Northmont Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Clayton, OH, serving 716 students as part of Northmont City Schools near Dayton — the largest middle school among the nearby schools compared here. It ranks 309 of 1,046 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 (70th percentile, 4 stars), the third-highest among the nearby middle schools behind Tippecanoe Middle School and Brookville Intermediate School. After a dip to 56th percentile in 2023–2024, the school has posted two stronger years in a row, placing it in the top third of Ohio middle schools.

Academically, Northmont beat the state average in every 2025–2026 tested subject except 8th grade math. Strong spots include 7th grade ELA (79.4% proficient vs. 62.7% statewide), 7th grade math (67.3% vs. 48.6%), and advanced math courses — Algebra I at 92.5% and Geometry at 100%, though those reflect smaller, select groups of students. 8th grade math is the clear gap at 48.5%, below the state's 52.0% and the district's 49.3%; it has nonetheless climbed sharply from 31.8% in 2023–2024. In most subjects Northmont trails Tippecanoe and Brookville but leads most other nearby schools such as Morton Middle School and Milton-Union Middle School.

The biggest non-academic concern is chronic absenteeism: 22.0% of students, or about 1 in 5, compared with 20.1% district-wide and far above Tippecanoe (5.4%) and Brookville (9.6%). The share of students from economically disadvantaged families has risen from 37.19% to 50.56% over two years, yet results have held steady. Effectiveness for student groups is a standout — Special Education students rank in the 75th percentile and low-income students in the 69th — suggesting the school adds value for many students. Per-student spending was $10,338 in 2018–2019, higher than Tippecanoe ($6,898) and Brookville ($7,699), though that data is dated. The student-teacher ratio has improved to 16.2.

What people are saying

by a student
Thursday, July 13, 2023

The faculty and administrators of this school do not care about your students well being. As a honor student and as a lgbtqia+ student, the amount of bullying here is staggering. Students of the lgbtqia+ minority are shouted slurs and shoved into lockers as staff watch. The counselors allow this to happen to matter what. If a student take things in there own hands, they are punished. The teachers help bullying as they watch the student and say nothing. As a student on superintendents advisory the group does nothing but trouble. Adding the phone rule doesn’t quote “help stop bullying” quoted by the principal Ms Gover. This makes the bullying go underground and promotes is after hour do the school will not have to deal with it. The staff are lacking as they are constantly gone and substitutes are constantly in the building. The yearbook staff lacks as the faculty members that runs it didn’t finished the book and rushed it, furthermore messing up previous work done by students. The only thing I’d say is good in this school is the orchestra teachers. They are wonderful teaches that prioritize the students well being. It’s sad that a orchestra teacher has to work more than a teacher and do things that the faculty should already do. The nurses here are also lacking, with them getting switched out constantly due to poor schedules. The cafeteria is constantly understaffed and many students aren’t fully even fed due to lack of food. Half of the food is lacking despite what the menu says. Bathrooms are limited to 3 trips per quarter per class. I’ve seen multiple students having to use other students books just for basic human functions. If I was you I would just go to Piqua or Mason as they are better schools. (Stating as a Northmont student.) Close Quote
