Summary

Carlisle Junior High School is a 7th– and 8th-grade middle school serving 242 students in Carlisle, Ohio, part of the Carlisle Local district, which ranks 366th of 773 Ohio districts. The school itself ranked 390th of 1,046 Ohio schools in 2025–26 — the 63rd percentile, or 3 stars — which puts it above the state median but behind several nearby districts. Its ranking history has cooled: Carlisle sat in the 73rd–79th percentile with 4 stars from 2015–16 through 2018–19, was at the 74th percentile in 2023–24, then slipped to 59th in 2024–25 and 63rd in 2025–26.

Academically, Carlisle beats the state average in most subjects. In 2025–26 it was above Ohio in 8th grade science (66.1% vs. 61.2%), 7th grade math (59.6% vs. 48.6%), 7th grade ELA (66.3% vs. 62.7%), 8th grade ELA (66.7% vs. 58.3%), and Algebra I, where it reported 100% proficiency against a state figure of 61.6%. Algebra I is a consistent signature strength, though a selective advanced-math group may be a factor. The one soft spot is 8th grade math at 50.0%, just under the state's 52.0% and behind Madison Junior High, Hadley E Watts Middle School, and Springboro Junior High School. Carlisle is clearly stronger than West Carrollton Middle School, Middletown Middle School, Franklin Junior High School, and generally Valley View Middle School and Miamisburg Middle School.

Two structural advantages stand out: 242 students and a 12.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 — the lowest among nearby middle schools. Chronic absenteeism is 19.1% in 2025–26, above the district's 17.1% and above Springboro, Hadley, and Valley View, but far below Miamisburg, West Carrollton, Franklin, and Middletown. Internally, results are uneven: the school's overall 63rd percentile masks lower marks for male students (55th) and special education students (51st, down from 85th in 2023–24), while low-income student results have swung between the 44th and 82nd percentiles. Note too that Carlisle Intermediate Elementary School posted below-state 6th grade math and ELA results in 2025–26, so incoming 7th graders may arrive with uneven preparation.
