Summary

Fort Frye Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Beverly, Ohio, in Washington County, serving 256 students as part of the Fort Frye Local district. In 2025-2026 it ranked 350th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 67th percentile, or 3 stars — a standing that has been fairly steady, dipping to 448th in 2023-2024 before recovering.

Math is the school's clear strength. In 2025-2026, Fort Frye beat the state average in every tested grade and beat both nearby schools at every overlapping grade: Grade 6 math reached 88.2% proficient, compared with 56.2% statewide, 57.4% at Warren Middle School, and 41.4% at Morgan Middle School. Reading is the soft spot. Warren Middle School outperformed Fort Frye in English language arts at all three grades, and Fort Frye's Grade 6 (49.3%) and Grade 8 (56.0%) ELA scores fell below the state average. Grade 7 ELA, however, is a genuine strength at 72.9% and has held between 71.8 and 75.5 for four straight years. Grade 8 science (66.7%) remains above the state's 61.2% but has dropped sharply two years running.

Attendance is the standout improvement: chronic absenteeism fell from 19.7% in 2022-2023 to 10.0% in 2025-2026 — roughly half — even as free and reduced-price lunch eligibility climbed past 50%. Special education students perform notably above the school's overall level, at the 79th percentile with 4 stars. Compared with Morgan Middle School, which sits at the 37th percentile with 22.1% of students chronically absent, Fort Frye is stronger in every measured subject. Against Warren Middle School, its advantage rests almost entirely on math.
