Summary

Eastern Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Beaver, OH, serving 191 students as part of the Eastern Local School District in rural southern Ohio, where it is smaller than most nearby middle schools.

Eastern's overall standing has slipped noticeably. In 2021–22 it ranked 336th of 1,017 Ohio schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), but by 2025–26 it had fallen to 629th of 1,046 (40th percentile, 2 stars). Its district, Eastern Local School District, ranks 485th of 773. Among nearby middle schools, Eastern sits below Southeastern Middle School, Valley Middle School, Minford Middle School, Jackson Middle School, and Wellston Middle School, but ahead of Waverly Junior High School and Huntington Middle School.

Academically, Eastern is a school of two halves. Its 8th graders do well: math proficiency was 64.4% versus the state's 52.0%, and science was 66.1% versus 61.2%, with both above state levels for four straight years and competitive with most nearby schools. The younger grades lag. Eighth grade ELA (49.2%), 7th grade ELA (50.0%), and 6th grade ELA (39.1%) all trailed the state, and 7th grade math was 32.8% against a state figure of 48.6% — the lowest among nearby schools with a 7th grade. Sixth grade math (39.1%) and ELA (39.1%) were also well below state averages, ahead of only a couple of nearby schools.

The clearest warning sign is attendance. In 2025–26, 33.6% of Eastern students were chronically absent — the highest rate among the nearby schools listed and above the district's 30.4%. It has nearly doubled since 2023–24, when it was 18.7%. Statewide effectiveness rankings for student groups have also declined: students with disabilities fell from the 66th percentile in 2023–24 to the 13th in 2025–26, male students from 58th to 34th, and low-income students from 78th to 49th. The student-teacher ratio rose from 13.2 to 15.9. Note that nearby schools serve different grade spans, so comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
