Summary:
ZIP code 43011 has just one middle school serving grades 6–8: Centerburg Middle School, part of the Centerburg Local district, with 243 students at 3782 Columbus Rd in Centerburg. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there are no local peers to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own past results. The district as a whole ranks 201st of 773 districts statewide, placing it in the 74th percentile with 4 stars.
Math and science are this school's clearest strengths. Algebra I proficiency was 96.2% in 2025–26 and 100% in 2024–25, far above the statewide rates of 61.6% and 59.4%. Grade 6 math reached 76.6% (state: 56.2%) and grade 7 math 74.0% (state: 48.6%). Grade 8 math, a weak spot the year before at 34.5%—below the state's 47.6%—rebounded sharply to 53.6%, slightly above the state's 52.0%. Grade 8 science also improved, from 68.8% to 76.2%, compared with a 61.2% state rate.
The watch points are English Language Arts and attendance. Grade 6 ELA fell to 51.6%, which is 4.4 points below the state, a drop of 13.8 points from the prior year; grade 7 ELA dipped slightly to 67.5%, still above the state, while grade 8 ELA improved to 60.7%. Chronic absenteeism stands at 13.0%, above the district's 11.3%. The student-teacher ratio is high at 24.3 students per teacher in 2024–25, implying roughly 10 teachers. The school slipped from 4 stars in 2023–24 to 3 stars in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, ranking 335th of 1,046 schools (68th percentile), a small improvement over the prior year but below its 2023–24 position. Free/reduced-lunch data is not provided, and spending data is from 2018–19, so both are limited for judging current context.
