Together that is 855 students. There is no standalone middle school, so middle-grade results are reported inside the high school's data. The district is rated 3 stars and ranks 378 of 773 in Ohio, which is the 51st percentile; both individual schools are also rated 3 stars.
Carey Elementary School is the stronger performer in this area.
