Summary:
ZIP code 44137 is home to exactly one middle school: Milkovich Middle School, located at 19800 Stafford Ave in Maple Heights and serving grades 5 through 8 with 664 students. It belongs to the Maple Heights City district, and because it is the district's only middle school, its grade-level results are effectively the district's middle-grade results as well.
Milkovich sits in the bottom fifth of Ohio middle schools (18th percentile, 1 star) and has remained in the bottom quartile for three consecutive years, slipping from the 21st to the 20th to the 18th percentile. In every tested grade-level subject, proficiency trails the state by roughly 23 to 39 points. English language arts is the school's relative strength, reaching 35.6% in grade 7, while grade 6 and grade 7 mathematics are the weakest points at 16.8% and 18.3%. Algebra I shows 100% proficiency against 61.6% statewide, but that figure reflects a small accelerated cohort rather than a typical grade-level class.
Two single-grade results moved sharply in opposite directions: grade 8 math rose from 12.2% to 29.3%, while grade 8 science fell from 45.7% to 32.5%. Chronic absenteeism stands at 47.5%, worse than the district's 44.4% and the most actionable number in the record — nearly half of students miss 10% or more of school days. Note that free/reduced lunch data is not reported and spending figures date to 2018-2019, so current poverty and funding context are unavailable. Compared with its district overall (10th percentile), the school itself ranks slightly higher, and at grade 8 it edges the district in both math and ELA.
