Summary:
ZIP code 43410 is served by a single middle school, McPherson Middle School, a grades 6–8 campus in Clyde, Ohio with 449 students in the Clyde-Green Springs Exempted Village district. Because it is the only middle school in the area, families have one clear option, and that school has earned 4 stars in each of the last three years. Its state rank improved from 307th of 1046 in 2023–2024 to 243rd of 1036 in 2024–2025 and 232nd of 1046 in 2025–2026, lifting it from the 71st to the 78th percentile. The district overall is rated 3 stars, ranked 247 of 773 at the 68th percentile, so the school currently outpaces its district on both stars and percentile.
Mathematics and science are the standout strengths. In 2025–2026, 8th grade mathematics proficiency was 84% versus 52% statewide, and 8th grade science was 79.6% versus 61.2% statewide. Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was reported at 100%, compared with 72.7% for the district and 61.6% for the state. The school also topped the state in 6th grade math (68.8% vs. 56.2%), 7th grade math (66.4% vs. 48.6%), 7th grade ELA (76.9% vs. 62.7%) and 8th grade ELA (65% vs. 58.3%). The exception is 6th grade ELA, at 55.2% versus 56.0% statewide, down 5.5 points from the prior year and the only tested area below the state in 2025–2026.
Two practical items are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism was 18.7% in 2025–2026, slightly above the district rate of 17.3%, and 54.12% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, a relevant context factor. The student-teacher ratio was 14:1 in 2024–2025, while per-student spending of $8,785 dates to 2018–2019 and should not be treated as a current resource measure. Overall, this is a strong-performing school with improving rankings and exceptional math and science results, with 6th grade ELA and attendance as the main areas to monitor.
