Summary:
ZIP code 44682 is served by exactly one school — Tuscarawas Middle School — a grades 6–8 middle school with 397 students at 261 School St in Tuscarawas, Ohio, part of the Indian Valley Local district. The area has no elementary, high, or alternative schools in this ZIP, so this single school is the entire picture for local families.
Academically, the school performs above Ohio averages in every reported subject. Math is the standout: in 2025–2026, Math 8 was 77.7% proficient versus 52.0% statewide, Math 7 was 71.6% versus 48.6%, and Math 6 was 65.2% versus 56.2%. Algebra I was 100% proficient in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, well above the district (83.9% and 79.6%) and the state (59.4% and 61.6%); because the number of students tested isn't provided, that 100% may reflect a small group. Science 8 came in at 73.6% versus 61.2% statewide, and English language arts was above state in every grade and year, though by smaller margins. On every test except Algebra I, the school's proficiency matches the district's exactly. The school ranked 254th of 1,046 Ohio schools — the 76th percentile with 4 stars — up from 275th two years earlier.
The main watch item is chronic absenteeism: 18.0% at the school versus 13.3% in the district, about 35% higher on a relative basis, with no state comparison provided. ELA 7 fell 8.0 points (74.2% to 66.2%) but stayed above the state's 62.7%; Math 8 posted the biggest gain, up 14.4 points. Spending of $6,803 per student is from 2018–2019 and may not reflect current funding, free/reduced lunch is not reported, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.8. With only one school and a few years of data, deeper comparisons aren't possible.
