Summary

Miami Trace Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 611 students in Washington Court House, Ohio, part of the Miami Trace Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 252nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 76th percentile with 4 stars — which is above its own district's profile (271st of 773 districts, 65th percentile, 3 stars). Its rank history shows long-term improvement with recent ups and downs: the 54th percentile in 2015–2016, a peak of 85th percentile in 2020–2021, a slip to 62nd in 2024–2025, and a rebound to 76th in 2025–2026.

Academically, the school beats Ohio averages in every subject and grade reported. Math 6 is 75% versus 56.2% statewide, Math 7 is 66.5% versus 48.6%, Science 8 is 79.7% versus 61.2%, ELA 7 is 72.3% versus 62.7%, and Algebra I reaches 100%. ELA 8 is the relative soft spot at 60.7% — still above the state's 58.3%, but behind several nearby schools. Among nearby middle schools, Miami Trace holds the highest rank percentile: Fairfield Local Middle School is next at 73rd percentile, while Washington Middle School, only 3.57 miles away, sits at 44th percentile with much lower Math 6 (35.4%) and ELA 6 (45.1%) proficiency. Miami Trace is also the largest school in this comparison group.

The school stands out especially for its work with low-income students: its low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked at the 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, well above the school's overall result, even though roughly half the student body is economically disadvantaged. Its special education subgroup remains lower, at 37th percentile and 2 stars, though that is up from 15th percentile and 1 star the year before. Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply, from 28.3% in 2022–2023 to 15.1% in 2025–2026, but it is still above the district's 13.1% rate.
