Summary:
ZIP code 44067 contains two middle-level schools — Nordonia Middle School and Lee Eaton Intermediate School — both in the Nordonia Hills City district in Northfield, Ohio. Together they serve grades 5–8 with 1,011 students, and the district ranks 85th of 773 in Ohio — the 89th percentile — with 4 stars.
Lee Eaton Intermediate School is the statewide standout, ranking 16th of 1,036 schools (98th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025, 23rd of 1,046 in 2023–2024, and 36th of 1,048 in 2022–2023 — a top 2–3% Ohio middle school across three years. Its proficiency results are strong across the board: 90.7% in 5th Grade ELA, 84.9% in 5th Grade Math, 86.0% in 6th Grade ELA, and 82.9% in 6th Grade Math. It also reports 100% in advanced 7th and 8th Grade Math, though as a grades 5–6 school those figures likely reflect a small selective group rather than a full grade population. Chronic absenteeism is the lower of the two at 11.2%.
Nordonia Middle School is also a top-10% school, ranking 95th of 1,046 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026. Its End-of-Course results are exceptional: Geometry at 100% proficiency versus a state rate of 43.3%, and Algebra I at 98% versus 61.6%. Eighth grade is strong as well, with 86.3% in Science and 85.8% in ELA. Its math trend is mixed, though — 7th Grade Math fell from 83.2% to 64.6% while 8th Grade Math rose from 65.0% to 80.0%, both still above state averages. Both schools beat the state in every reported test, with low and similar free/reduced lunch rates (12.94% at Lee Eaton, 13.74% at Nordonia) and absenteeism below the district's 13.8%. Families here have two high-performing options with different strengths.
