Summary

Rittman Middle School is a small public middle school in Rittman, Ohio, serving about 190 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Rittman Exempted Village district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 370th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 65th percentile, with 3 stars — placing it in the middle-upper tier statewide. That is a step down from its earlier peak: the school was a 4-star school at the 81st percentile in 2020–2021 and has since settled in the 64th–67th percentile range.

Its academic profile is strongest in the upper grades. Eighth grade science students scored 80.6% proficient versus 61.2% statewide, Algebra I reached 100% (state: 61.6%), and 8th grade math and ELA were 67.3% and 71.0%, both above state averages. The weaker spots are 6th grade math at 54.4%, slightly below the state's 56.2%, and 7th grade ELA at 57.8%, below the state's 62.7% and well down from 78% in 2022–23. Structurally, the school has real advantages: only 190 students, the lowest student–teacher ratio among nearby schools at 10.3, and chronic absenteeism that fell to 6.1% in 2025–26 from 14.2% the year before.

Compared with nearby schools, Rittman Middle School sits in the middle. It is clearly stronger than Barberton Middle School (34th percentile) and roughly comparable to Orrville Middle School and Green Middle School, but it trails higher-performing neighbors such as Northwest Middle School (94th percentile), A. I. Root Middle School, Cloverleaf Middle School, Wadsworth Middle School, Norwayne Middle School, and Norton Middle School. Within the school, 2025–26 effectiveness results were less even for some groups: students with disabilities ranked at the 39th percentile and low-income students at the 46th, below the school's overall 65th percentile — though at a school this small, these figures can swing from year to year.
