Summary

Southington Middle School is a small public middle school in Southington, Ohio, serving about 104 students in grades 6–8 as the middle school for Southington Local. For 2025–2026, it ranked 260th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 75th percentile, with 4 stars — placing it in the upper-middle of its nearby peer group. Its history is generally above average but bumpy, ranging from the 59th percentile in 2015–2016 to a high of the 90th percentile in 2018–2019, then back to 75th.

Math is the school's clearest strength. Averaged across grades 6–8, 78.1% of students were proficient in math versus 52.3% statewide, and 8th-grade math reached 87.8% — 35.8 points above the state and the highest among nearby schools with comparable data. English language arts is above the state in every grade (66.1% versus 59.0% overall), though 6th-grade ELA (+2.3 points) is only slightly ahead and trails Lakeview Middle School, Howland Middle School, Champion Middle School and Jackson-Milton Middle School. Science is the biggest gap: 8th-grade proficiency of 58.5% is below the state's 61.2% and below most peers. Attendance, however, is a standout — chronic absenteeism is 10.0%, the lowest among nearby schools and far below the district's 17.7%, after dropping from 30.9% in 2021–2022.

The school also stands out for its work with economically disadvantaged students, whose subgroup ranking was 85th of 996 schools (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026 — well above the school's overall 75th percentile. With only about 30–40 students per grade, year-to-year swings can be large, so multi-year trends matter more than any single year. Parents comparing options will find Southington competitive with Howland Middle School and Lakeview Middle School but trailing Jackson-Milton Middle School and Champion Middle School overall. Watch points are 8th-grade science, 6th-grade ELA and the gifted subgroup.
