Summary

Jackson Memorial Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 1,313 students in Massillon, Ohio, part of the Jackson Local district — by a wide margin the largest school in its nearby comparison group. It sits in Ohio's top tier: 135th of 1,046 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026 (87th percentile, 4 stars), a level it has held for a decade. Across seven grade-level state tests, students averaged roughly 77% proficient versus about 56% statewide.

How does it compare with neighbors? Jackson's 8th graders post 83.5% proficient in science, 80.7% in math, and 83.0% in ELA — strong, though Tuslaw Middle School (86.9%) and Manchester Middle School (85.6%) edge ahead in science, and Edison Middle School (84.4%) leads in math. In 6th grade math, Jackson's 80.8% is the best in the group. The clear outlier is 7th grade math at 53.8% proficient — only about 5 points above the state, versus the 17–29 point margins the school earns elsewhere, and far below its own recent 7th grade math results. That looks like one cohort's dip rather than a building-wide problem. Chronic absenteeism is a quiet strength: 10.4%, down from 17.7% four years ago, compared with 37.2% at Massillon Junior High School, 33.2% at Clarendon Intermediate School, and 29.4% at Massillon Intermediate School.

Jackson gets these results with a lean, large-scale model: the third-highest student–teacher ratio in the group (19.6) and mid-range spending ($8,387 per student), yet outcomes that beat schools spending more or running much smaller classes. Advanced coursework is a signature — 100% proficiency on Algebra I, Geometry, and Biology end-of-course exams — though those are small, selective groups, so read them as a strong accelerated track rather than a whole-school rate. Jackson serves the lowest share of economically disadvantaged students among reporting peers (24.2%), and its gifted results rank near the top of the state, while low-income student results have slipped from the 91st to the 77th percentile over three years. Notably, the school's results mirror Jackson Local's almost line for line.
