Summary

Celina Middle School is a 7th–8th grade school at 614 Holly St in Celina, Ohio, serving 348 students as part of the Celina City district in Mercer County, a pocket of western Ohio where several nearby schools post unusually strong results.

Statewide, Celina ranks in the 72nd percentile (4 stars) and now outranks its own district. Its academic profile is strongest in math and science: 8th grade science is 78.3% proficient, 8th grade math 67.3%, and 7th grade math 63.5%, each about 15–17 points above the state. English language arts is more ordinary—7th grade ELA is 64.0% (only 1.3 points above the state) and has declined for two straight years. The school's multi-year recovery looks real: after sitting at the 58th–60th percentile, it has spent four years at or above the 68th and reached 72nd in 2025–26, while chronic absenteeism fell from 18.8% to 8.7% in three years. Class size is a distinctive asset: 12.0 students per teacher, the smallest ratio among nearby schools, at $7,801 per pupil (2018–19 data).

Compared with neighbors, Celina is above average statewide but 7th of 9 locally. It beats Wapakoneta Junior High and St. Marys Middle School on every directly comparable test, yet trails Coldwater Middle School, St Henry Middle School, Fort Recovery Middle School, and Parkway Middle School on most measures. Its 8th grade science remains competitive with that top cluster. Accelerated math stands out—Algebra I proficiency was 100% in 2025–26—but the Geometry figure reflects a very small, selected group, not a school-wide result. For parents, the main soft spot is 7th grade ELA, and subgroup data show improving special-education results and low-income students performing near the school average. Spending figures are old and several comparison schools serve more grade levels, so rankings are not perfectly comparable.
