Summary:

ZIP code 44473 has one middle school, Mathews Junior High School, serving grades 6–8 with 139 students in Vienna, Ohio, in the Mathews Local district. Because it is the only middle school here, the best comparison is the school’s own trends and how it compares with the district and state. The district ranks 380 of 773 in Ohio, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars. The school was at the 58th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–24, rose to the 70th percentile with 4 stars in 2024–25, then slipped to the 54th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26. That recent dip is worth watching because enrollment is small.

Its clearest strength is 7th-grade math, well above state in both years: 62.3% versus 48.6% in 2025–26, and 63.4% versus 50.0% in 2024–25. In 2024–25, it exceeded the state in 7 of 8 reported tests, including Algebra I at 100% proficient, above the district’s 54.7% and state’s 59.4%; no 2025–26 Algebra I result is available, so this is promising but not proven. Science 8 and Math 6 were also strong in 2024–25 and stayed at or above state in 2025–26. By 2025–26, it was above state in 4 of 7 tests. Chronic absenteeism is 22.4% versus the district’s 17.2%; 47.48% were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25; per-student spending was $9,813 in 2018–19; and the reported student-teacher ratio of 46.3 is unusually high and should be verified.

The concerns are the 2025–26 ELA declines and attendance. ELA 8 fell from 67.4%, 13.0 points above state, to 50.0%, now 8.3 points below state. ELA 6 dropped from 59.2% to 50.0%, now 6.0 points below state, and Math 8 was 48.6% versus the state’s 52.0%. Overall, the school is uneven: it has real bright spots in 7th-grade math and several 2024–25 results, but also recent ELA weakness and above-district absenteeism. Parents may want to ask about attendance supports, staffing, and whether 2024–25 was the baseline or 2025–26 was a temporary dip. With only 139 students, single-year swings can be several points, so monitor trends rather than overinterpret one year.
