Summary

Washington Middle School is a 405-student, grades 6–8 school in Washington Court House, OH, part of the Washington Court House City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 583rd of 1,046 Ohio schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 533rd of 773 (31st percentile, 2 stars). The school has declined from the 60th percentile with 3 stars in 2021–2022 to 44th with 2 stars now. Among nearby ranked middle schools, it sits just below East Clinton Junior High School (46th percentile, 2 stars) and above only Adena Middle School (37th, 2 stars). Miami Trace Middle School (76th, 4 stars), Fairfield Local Middle School (73rd, 4 stars), and Greeneview Middle School (67th, 3 stars) all rank higher. Its district is also lower-ranked than most nearby districts except Adena Local.

Test results are uneven. Strengths are 7th-grade ELA (63.5% vs. state 62.7%) and 8th-grade math (54.7% vs. state 52.0%). Weaknesses are 6th-grade math (35.4% vs. state 56.2%) and 6th-grade ELA (45.1% vs. state 56.0%), both lowest among comparable nearby schools; 8th-grade ELA is 50.5% vs. state 58.3%, above only Adena Middle School. 8th-grade science is 60.5%, just below state. Algebra I is 100%, but many nearby schools also report 100%, so it likely reflects a small advanced group. Chronic absenteeism is 20.3%, improved from 45.1% in 2021–2022 but still above the nearby median of roughly 15.1%; only East Clinton Junior High School is higher. Miami Trace Middle School has 15.1%.

Subgroup results show a relative strength for low-socioeconomic-status students (57th percentile in 2025–2026, 3 stars), above the school’s overall rank. Special education students are a consistent severe weakness (16th percentile in 2025–2026, 11th in 2024–2025, 22nd in 2023–2024, all 1 star). Resource context matters: the school’s per-student spending was $6,270 in 2018–2019, the lowest among nearby schools ($6,883–$10,250), and its 2023–2024 free/reduced-lunch rate was 67.83%. Nearby Miami Trace Middle School outperforms this school in every tested subject except Algebra I and spends $10,036 per student. Sixth grade is a clear entry-year crisis point. Overall, the school has lost ground and trails most comparable middle schools, though it is not the absolute lowest nearby.
