Summary:
ZIP code 44667 has just one middle school option: Orrville Middle School, part of the Orrville City district. It serves grades 5 through 8 with 462 students enrolled, a student-teacher ratio of 15.4 students per teacher in 2024–2025, and 54.33% of students participating in free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP, the most useful comparisons are against the district and the state of Ohio.
Academically, the school outperformed the state in every reported grade-level test in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Standouts include 7th grade mathematics at 69.2% proficient versus 48.6% statewide (+20.6 points), 5th grade science at 77.2% versus 62.7% (+14.5), 5th grade mathematics at 70.3% versus 59.1% (+11.2), and 8th grade English language arts at 67.8% versus 58.3% (+9.5). Algebra I End-of-Course reported 100% proficient in both years, far above the district’s 59.8% and the state’s 61.6% in 2025–2026. Fifth grade is a consistent strength across science, mathematics, and ELA. Chronic absenteeism is 13.6% at the school compared with 14.3% in the district.
Families should note that the school’s overall advantage over the state is narrowing: the average grade-level gap fell from about +11.1 points in 2024–2025 to about +8.0 points in 2025–2026, and its rank moved from 282nd (73rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 348th (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. Sixth grade ELA is essentially at the state average (56.1% versus 56.0%) and down 7.3 points from the prior year’s 6th grade result, while 7th grade ELA fell 7.6 points. Those ELA results, along with 6th grade mathematics, are the areas to watch.
