Summary:
ZIP code 44022 contains two middle-level schools serving a combined 612 students in the Chagrin Falls area — Chagrin Falls Intermediate Elementary School for grades 4–6 with 388 students, and Chagrin Falls Middle School for grades 7–8 with 224 students — both part of the Chagrin Falls Exempted Village district, which ranks 8th of 773 Ohio districts at the 99th percentile.
Both schools perform far above state averages. In 2025-2026, every reported proficiency result at the Intermediate school was between 25.2 and 51.4 points above the Ohio average, and at the Middle school between 25.0 and 56.7 points above. The Intermediate school is the steadier performer: its average proficiency rose about 2.1 points year over year to roughly 93.7%, with 5th-grade science at 94.9% and 5th-grade English language arts at 95.6%. The Middle school remains elite but softened, with average proficiency down about 5.0 points; it ranked 2nd in Ohio among middle schools in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, then slipped to 21st of 1,046 in 2025-2026 — still the 98th percentile with 5 stars. Its advanced math is exceptional: Geometry was 100% proficient in both years and Algebra I was 97.5% in 2025-2026, versus state averages of 43.3% and 61.6%.
Chronic absenteeism is low at both schools and below the district's 9.8% rate: 6.1% at the Intermediate school versus 9.2% at the Middle school. Free/reduced lunch is roughly 5.8–5.93% at both, a very low-poverty context worth keeping in mind. Per-student spending figures from 2018-2019 ($14,193 versus $9,792) are old and may reflect accounting differences rather than resource advantages, while the Middle school had the smaller student/teacher ratio in 2024-2025 (11.6 versus 14.3). One anomaly to note: the Intermediate school reports 100% in 7th-grade math in both years despite serving grades 4–6, which likely reflects advanced test-takers rather than a full-grade result.
