Summary

North Baltimore Middle School is a small grades 7–8 school in the northwest Ohio community of North Baltimore, serving about 96 students as part of North Baltimore Local, and it ranks in the middle of Ohio middle schools overall while sitting below most of its nearby peers. Its district ranks 466 of 773 districts statewide (40th percentile, 2 stars).

Academically, the school's profile is split. Eighth-grade science proficiency was 83%, well above Ohio's 61.2% average and essentially tied with top-performing neighbors such as Liberty-Benton Middle School (83.6%) and Van Buren Middle School (82.7%). English language arts is the opposite story: 7th-grade ELA was 51% (state: 62.7%) and 8th-grade ELA was 43.8% (state: 58.3%), the lowest 8th-grade ELA result among nearby schools. Math is mixed — 7th grade near the state average, 8th grade below it. The school's state rank has slipped from 78th percentile (4 stars) in 2021–22 to 48th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–26, and chronic absenteeism, at 15.1%, is higher than the district's 13.1% and higher than eight of ten nearby schools, though it has improved from 23.5% in 2021–22.

On paper, resources look favorable: a 10.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 (lower than every nearby school) and per-student spending of $12,833 in 2018–19, the highest in the comparison group. The school performs relatively better for low-income students (60th percentile, 3 stars, consistent for three years) and special education students (50th percentile, 3 stars) than it does overall. With only about 48 students per grade, single-year score swings should be read cautiously — but the multi-year ELA decline and the absenteeism gap stand out. Nearby Van Buren Middle School, just 3.76 miles away, ranks at the 89th percentile with 4 stars and has 6.1% chronic absenteeism, while Arcadia Middle School — similarly small — ranks at the 81st percentile with 3.5% absenteeism.
