Summary
Green Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Smithville, Ohio, serving 254 students as part of Green Local. It is small — nearby middle schools average about 434 students, and only Rittman Middle School (190) is smaller. Overall, Green is solidly above average: it ranked 321st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–26 (69th percentile, 3 stars), after a 73rd-percentile, 4-star showing the year before, with rankings generally in the 60s to low 80s over the past decade.
Green's clear strength is eighth grade. In 2025–26, its 8th graders scored 79.0% proficient in math (state 52.0%), 78.2% in science (state 61.2%), and 71.8% in English language arts (state 58.3%), and Algebra I proficiency was 100% (state 61.6%). Weaker 7th-grade math results have also become strong 8th-grade math results the next year — 31.0% became 77.0%. Even so, Green's 8th-grade math trails Dalton Middle School (89.8%), Norwayne Middle School (83.1%), and Cloverleaf Middle School (80.4%), and its science score, while well above the state, sits below most nearby peers.
The main concerns are the lower grades, attendance, and uneven results across student groups. Sixth-grade math (58.3%) is below the nearby average of roughly 68%, and 7th-grade math (53.7%) is the lowest among comparable nearby schools; 6th- and 7th-grade English language arts also trail nearby averages. Chronic absenteeism was 12.0% in 2025–26, above Green Local's 9.7% and the nearby average of roughly 10.1% — better than Cloverleaf Middle School (15.1%), Triway Middle School (14.7%), and Orrville Middle School (13.6%), but worse than Northwest Middle School (5.2%), Rittman Middle School (6.1%), and Dalton Middle School (6.4%). The student–teacher ratio has risen from 12.4 to 16.3, and Green's per-student spending ($9,988 in 2018–19) is near the top locally, yet lower-spending Dalton Local and Northwest Local rank higher. Green Middle's 69th percentile also sits below Green Local's 77th-percentile district rank. Low-income and special education student rankings have slipped or sit near average, and some data — including free/reduced-lunch figures — is missing or dated, so context is limited.
