Summary

Celina Middle School is a public middle school serving 376 students in grades 7-8 in Celina, Ohio, which is part of the Celina City school district. Over the past 10 years, the school has ranked between 227 and 583 out of over 1,000 Ohio middle schools, with a current ranking of 316 and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Celina Middle School consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio state tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 72.6% of 8th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63%. The school also stands out with exceptional Algebra I performance, with 94.7% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the Celina City (66.1%) and Ohio (59.4%) averages. However, the school struggles with higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, though this has been decreasing in recent years.

While Celina Middle School performs well overall, it lags behind some higher-performing nearby middle schools, such as Wapakoneta Middle School, Coldwater Middle School, and St. Henry Middle School, which are all ranked in the top 25-30% of Ohio middle schools. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, which may present additional challenges but also opportunities for support and resources.
