Summary:
ZIP code 44641 has just one public middle school, Louisville Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 625 students as part of the Louisville City district in Louisville, Ohio. Because it is the only middle school in the area, families have no local alternative to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district and the state of Ohio.
The school's record is consistently strong. It earns 4 stars and has climbed in the state rankings each year—from 225th of 1,046 schools, to 182nd, to 141st of 1,046 for 2025–2026, moving from the 78th to the 87th percentile. That 87th percentile is higher than its district's 76th percentile, meaning the school performs well even relative to its own district. In every reported subject and year, it scores above the Ohio average, with margins ranging from about 10 percentage points in 7th grade math to nearly 40 points in Algebra I. Algebra I is the standout: 100% proficient in 2025–2026 and 98.7% the year before, well above the district and state, though those results may reflect a selected group of students taking the course rather than a full grade level.
Eighth grade showed the biggest gains, with ELA up about 13 points to 77.9, science at 87.5 and math at 78.7. Seventh grade math is the relative weak spot at 58.9, down slightly from the prior year, but still above the state average. One watch item: chronic absenteeism is 18.0%, higher than the district's 15.0%, which runs counter to the otherwise strong academic picture. Free or reduced lunch data is not available, per-pupil spending is dated at $8,058 for 2018–2019, and the student-teacher ratio of 18.5 has no benchmark for comparison. Overall, this is a high-performing school with upward momentum.
