Summary

Minerva Middle School in Minerva, Ohio, serves 461 students in grades 6–8 as part of Minerva Local, and it is currently a bright spot in its area: in 2025–26 it ranked 214th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (80th percentile, 4 stars), while its district ranked 297th of 773 (62nd percentile, 3 stars). That 80th-percentile showing is the school's best in the available history, up from the 64th–68th percentile range in 2022–23 through 2024–25.

Academically, Minerva Middle School scored above the Ohio average on every reported 2025–26 assessment. Math results are the strongest: 6th-grade math 77.2% vs. 56.2% statewide, and 8th-grade math 78.3% vs. 52.0%. English language arts also beat the state at every grade, and Algebra I was 100% proficient (state 61.6%) — a result that likely reflects a selected advanced-math group. Eighth-grade science rose from 59.2% (below state) in 2024–25 to 70.2% in 2025–26. The standout finding is for students from low-income families: a 96th-percentile, 5-star ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students, in a school where about half of students are economically disadvantaged. Special education students improved from 1 star to 3 stars.

Among nearby schools, Minerva trails only West Branch Middle School, which ranks at the 90th percentile and outscored Minerva in grades 6–7 math and ELA; results against Louisville Middle School are mixed. Minerva outperforms Marlington Middle School on every shared test, is close to Carrollton Middle School, and is well ahead of Malvern Middle School, East Canton Middle School, Alliance Middle School, and the Canton City schools. Chronic absenteeism has improved to 14.4%, though it remains above the district's 8.5% and above West Branch and Marlington. The student-teacher ratio, 22.3, is higher than most peers.
