Summary
Antwerp Local Middle School is a grade 6–8 school at 303 S. Harrmann Rd in the small northwest Ohio community of Antwerp, serving 142 students — the smallest enrollment among nearby middle schools such as Hicksville Middle School (282 students) and Paulding Middle School (251). In 2025–2026, it ranked 68th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, its best showing in the available history, up from 124th, 194th, and 238th in the three prior years. That is considerably higher than its own Antwerp Local district, which ranks in the 75th percentile with 4 stars.
Academics are strong and broad-based. In 2025–2026, Antwerp exceeded Ohio's proficiency rate in every reported grade-level test: 7th-grade math 89.1% versus 48.6% statewide, 7th-grade English language arts 92.7% versus 62.7%, 8th-grade ELA 86.7% versus 58.3%, and 8th-grade science 86.4% versus 61.2%. Algebra I proficiency was 100%, ahead of the district's 72.9% and the state's 61.6%. Among nearby schools, Antwerp leads in 7th-grade math, 7th-grade ELA, and 8th-grade ELA, runs close to Hicksville Middle School in 8th-grade science and math, and ties several schools at 100% in Algebra I. Its comparatively softer spots — 6th-grade math at 67.3% and 6th-grade ELA at 75.5% — still beat state averages and top Paulding Middle School in both.
Subgroup results show particular strength for male students (rank 21 of 955, 98th percentile, 5 stars) and low-income students (92 of 996, 91st percentile, 5 stars), with female students also strong at the 80th percentile. Older data show lower rankings for special education students (17th percentile, 1 star in 2022–2023), worth monitoring. Chronic absenteeism fell from 27.1% in 2021–2022 to 11.2% in 2025–2026, below the district's 11.8% but higher than Crestview Middle School (9.8%), Fairview Middle School (9.9%), and Paulding (8.6%). The student-teacher ratio improved to 14.2 in 2024–2025, second-lowest nearby behind Crestview (12.1). With only 142 students, results can swing from year to year.
