Summary

McPherson Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 449 students on Limerick Road in Clyde, Ohio, part of the Clyde-Green Springs Exempted Village district in a small-town area of northwest Ohio where a majority of students come from low-income households.

Academically, McPherson is a standout. It earns 4 stars and ranks in the 78th percentile of 1,046 Ohio middle schools for 2025-2026, up from the 48th percentile and 2 stars in 2017-2018 — and it has held 4 stars for five straight reported years, ranking above its own district (68th percentile). Its 8th graders scored 84.0% proficient in math against a state average of 52.0%, and 79.6% in science against 61.2%. Algebra I proficiency has been 100% for four straight years, reflecting a small, select group of advanced 8th graders rather than the whole grade. Among nearby schools, only Seneca East Middle School (89th percentile) and Bellevue Middle School (87th) rank higher, while Fremont Middle School (41st) and Sandusky Middle School (25th) trail well behind. The school also posts unusually strong results for low-income students (86th percentile), special education students (78th), and gifted students (96th), all while spending less per student than most of its neighbors.

Two areas are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism has improved to 18.7% from a 23.0% peak, but it remains above the district's 17.3% and is more than double Bellevue's 8.9%. Sixth-grade English language arts, at 55.2% proficient versus the state's 56.0%, is the school's only result at or below the state average — though those same students reach 76.9% by 7th grade, suggesting real upside if attendance and early literacy improve.
