Summary

Rootstown/Mabel Schnee Bldg Middle School is a public middle school serving 210 students in grades 6-8 in Rootstown, Ohio, which is part of the Rootstown Local School District. The school consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in Science, Math, and English Language Arts.

For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate of 81.7% was significantly higher than the Rootstown Local district average of 78.3% and the state average of 63%.

While Rootstown/Mabel Schnee Bldg Middle School is a solid-performing school, nearby schools like Kimpton Middle School, Tallmadge Middle School, and Field Middle School consistently outperform it in terms of statewide rankings and test scores. Understanding the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for Rootstown Local to improve its own performance.
