Summary:
Zip code 43040 in Marysville is served by two middle-level schools — Bunsold Middle School (grades 7–8, 862 students) and Creekview Intermediate Elementary School (grades 5–6, 846 students) — both part of the Marysville Exempted Village district, which is rated 4 stars and ranks 206 of 773 Ohio districts, in the 73rd percentile. Together the two schools enroll 1,708 students.
Bunsold is the stronger-ranked of the two, placing in the top 14–18% of Ohio middle schools for three straight years and reaching the 83rd percentile in 2025–2026. Its scores beat the state in every subject tested, usually by the mid-to-high teens: 7th-grade ELA was 80.9% and 8th-grade science 77.1% in 2025–2026. Its most eye-catching figure is Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency of 99.2% in both years, far above the district's 79.8% and the state's 61.6%. One caveat for parents: that exam is taken by students ready for Algebra I, not the whole 8th-grade class, whose general 8th-grade math proficiency was 66.7%.
Creekview's standout is chronic absenteeism at 9.4%, well below the district's 15.9% and Bunsold's 16.4% — a real engagement advantage, though some of the difference may reflect grade levels. Its 5th-grade science (78.4%) and ELA (81.4%) results are strong, and its student-teacher ratio is smaller (19.3 vs. Bunsold's 21.4). Free/reduced lunch rates are nearly identical at both schools (about 24%), and both outscore the state in every reported subject, though most 2025–2026 scores slipped a few points from 2024–2025.
