Summary

Lake Middle School in Millbury, OH, is a public school serving 362 students in grades 6–8 within the Lake Local district. The school ranks 489th of 1,046 in Ohio for 2025–2026 (53rd percentile, 3 stars), while the district ranks 424th of 773 (45th percentile, 2 stars). Lake's rank has declined from the 64th percentile in 2022–2023 to 53rd now, and it sits at the bottom of its local peer group: Springfield Middle School (55th percentile), Rossford Junior High School (58th), Maumee Middle School (66th), Fassett Junior High School (69th), Woodmore Middle School (82nd), Genoa Area Middle School (83rd), Eastwood Middle School (89th), and Perrysburg Junior High School (95th).

Academically, Lake has clear strengths in 6th grade: math proficiency is 61.2% (state 56.2%) and ELA is 62.3% (state 56%), outperforming Springfield Middle School and Rossford Junior High School. Seventh-grade ELA is also above state at 66.7% (state 62.7%), though 7th-grade math is slightly below state at 47.4%. The biggest concern is 8th grade. Math 8 proficiency is just 36.4% versus the state's 52%, and every nearby school with data is higher—from Fassett Junior High School's 55.7% to Perrysburg Junior High School's 84.5%. Science 8 (62.5%) and ELA 8 (58.0%) are near or above state averages but still the lowest among local peers. Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency is 100%, but this likely reflects a selective advanced cohort, as many nearby schools also report 100%.

Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge: 20.0% in 2025–2026, above the district's 17.5% and far above high-performing nearby schools like Eastwood Middle School (7.1%), Perrysburg Junior High School (9.2%), and Woodmore Middle School (9.8%). Subgroup data show the school serves gifted students well (86th percentile, 4 stars) but struggles with special education (21st percentile, 1 star). Per-student spending was $6,604 in 2018–2019, the lowest among nearby schools, while the student-teacher ratio is 15. Compared with similarly sized Eastwood Middle School (365 students), Lake trails on almost every metric. Overall, Lake Middle School is a mid-pack Ohio school with real strengths in 6th grade and gifted education, but it faces urgent needs in 8th-grade math, attendance, and special education support.
