Summary

Danbury Middle School is a small public school in Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio, serving grades 6 through 8 with 115 students in the Danbury Local district. In 2025-2026 it ranked 91st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools, placing it in the 91st percentile with 5 stars, while the district ranked 60th of 773 districts statewide. That made Danbury Middle School the highest-ranked and only 5-star middle school among its nearby peers, ahead of Bellevue Middle School (87th percentile, 4 stars), McCormick Middle School (81st, 4 stars), Port Clinton Middle School (74th, 4 stars), Briar Middle School (61st, 3 stars), and Sandusky Middle School (25th, 1 star). It jumped from 266th place in 2024-2025 to 91st, nearly matching its 2018-2019 peak.

Test results are strong across the board, with Danbury above the state proficiency rate in every reported grade and subject. Grade 7 is the standout: Math 7 proficiency is 81.8 against the state's 48.6, and ELA 7 is 87.9 against 62.7, both the highest among the nearby schools. Science 8 (82.9) and Algebra I (100% proficient, versus 61.6 statewide) are also strengths, though the Algebra figure likely reflects a small number of test-takers. Grade 8 math and ELA remain above state averages but trail Bellevue and Port Clinton in Math 8 and Bellevue in ELA 8. Among student groups, results for low-income students ranked 10th of 996 schools, the top 1% statewide, and female students ranked in the 95th percentile, with other groups also ranking in the 86th percentile.

One clear counterpoint is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 14.2%, above the district's 10.2% and higher than Bellevue (8.9%) and McCormick (11.8%), though far below Sandusky's 34.7%. Enrollment of 115 students is less than half that of most nearby middle schools; the 2024-2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.4, and 2018-2019 per-student spending was $18,579, roughly double several peers, though that spending figure is dated.
