Summary

Arcadia Middle School is a small grades 7–8 school serving about 85 students in Arcadia, Ohio, a Hancock County community, and is part of the Arcadia Local district.

This school stands out for its size and its results. It is by far the smallest school among ten nearby middle schools — a typical neighbor enrolls roughly 307 students — yet it ranks third of the ten and lands in the top fifth of Ohio middle schools. On 2025–2026 state tests, Arcadia scored above the state average in all six reported subjects. Its strongest showings are in English language arts, where 77.3% of 7th graders and 76.7% of 8th graders tested proficient (state: 62.7% and 58.3%), and in Algebra I, where proficiency has been 90% to 100% for four straight years versus about 53% to 62% statewide. Both figures are at or near the top of the local group. By contrast, 8th-grade math (62.1%) and 8th-grade science (72.1%) are solid but rank only fifth and fourth locally — the clearest areas for growth, especially compared with higher-ranked Liberty-Benton Middle School and Van Buren Middle School.

Attendance is the school's most dramatic improvement. Chronic absenteeism fell from 8.9% to 4.2% to 3.5% over three years — the lowest rate of all ten comparison schools and well below the district's 6.9% rate, which suggests other district buildings are driving that gap. One important note for families reading test scores: with only about 40 students per grade, a single student can shift a subject by several points, so year-to-year swings should be read as normal small-school variation around a strong, steady trend rather than real ups and downs.
