Summary

Genoa Area Middle School is a small rural school at 2950 N Genoa Clay Center Rd in Genoa, Ohio, serving grades 6–8 with 282 students — about 94 per grade — as part of the Genoa Area Local district in northwest Ohio. It is in the strongest stretch of its recent history: in 2025–26 it ranked 181st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (83rd percentile, 4 stars), its best placement in the ten years of rank history available and up from the 71st percentile the year before.

Academically, the school clears the state bar in every tested subject, averaging roughly 16–17 points above Ohio. Eighth-grade science (82.8% vs. 61.2% statewide), sixth-grade math (75.6% vs. 56.2%), and sixth- and eighth-grade English language arts (74.4% and 75.9%) are particular strengths. Its accelerated Algebra I pathway performs at ceiling — 100% in 2025–26 — well above the district's 77% and the state's 61.6%. Among nearby middle schools, Genoa ranks third, behind only Perrysburg Junior High School and Eastwood Middle School, and ahead of larger or better-funded schools including Maumee Middle School, Rossford Junior High School, Fassett Junior High School, Lake Middle School, Woodmore Middle School, and Gibsonburg Middle School. It does this while spending $9,106 per student, well below Maumee ($12,564) and Rossford ($12,200).

Two areas are worth watching. Eighth-grade math is both the weakest and least stable subject — 76% → 45.9% → 34.3% → 59.0% over four years — and lands mid-pack locally rather than near the top. Chronic absenteeism is 15.0%, above the district's 13.9% and roughly double the rate of the highest-performing comparison schools, making attendance the clearest available lever for improvement. On the plus side, results for higher-need groups are strong: special education students rank at the 86th percentile and low-income students at the 79th.
