Summary:
ZIP code 44266 contains exactly one middle school: Brown Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 508 students in Ravenna, Ohio, as part of the Ravenna City district. Because it is the only middle school in this area, families have a single option to consider, and its data shows pockets of real strength alongside broad challenges. The district itself ranks 629 of 773 Ohio districts, placing it in the 19th percentile with 1 star.
The clearest bright spot is Algebra I End-of-Course performance, where 82.6% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, well above the district (50%) and state (61.6%) and up from 66.7% the prior year. However, this likely reflects a smaller, select group of students rather than the whole school. Several subjects also improved year over year: 8th grade ELA rose from 24.5% to 45.5% proficient, 8th grade science from 36.9% to 50.0%, and 5th grade science from 45.8% to 54.3%. The school reports a 14:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $9,755, though that spending figure dates to 2018-2019.
Math remains the biggest weakness. The 7th grade math proficiency rate is just 18.6%, the lowest reported score, and 6th grade math fell from 37.9% to 25.2%. Across the listed assessments, the school averages about 42.5% proficient versus roughly 41.1% for the district and 59.0% for the state. Chronic absenteeism stands at 36.1%, close to the district's 37.0%, and is likely a significant barrier. School rankings have slipped from 31st percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to 26th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. Free/reduced-lunch data are not reported, so economic context is unavailable.
