Summary:
ZIP code 44683 has just one middle school — Claymont Middle School in Uhrichsville, Ohio — serving grades 6 through 8 with 358 students as part of the Claymont City district, which ranks 511 of 773 Ohio districts at the 34th percentile with 2 stars. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there are no side-by-side comparisons to make; instead, the useful benchmark is how the school performs against the state. The school itself has earned 3 stars in each of the last three reported school years, one star above its district.
Academically, the strongest results are in Algebra I, where 94.4% of students were proficient in 2025–2026 and 95% in 2024–2025, compared with statewide figures of 61.6% and 59.4%. Eighth grade science (77.1% vs. a state 61.2%), 6th grade math (67.7% vs. 56.2%), and 7th grade math (61.5% vs. 48.6%) are also well above state averages, with 7th grade math climbing sharply from 49.5% the prior year. English language arts sits close to the state in all three grades — slightly above in 6th and 8th, slightly below in 7th. The clear weak spot is 8th grade mathematics, at 39.7% proficient against a state 52%, though that is up from 34.3% versus 47.6% the year before.
The school’s overall trajectory is upward: its state rank improved from 519 of 1,046 in 2023–2024 to 461 of 1,036 and then 409 of 1,046 in 2025–2026, a 110-position gain and an 11-point percentile increase. Chronic absenteeism stands at 17.7%, roughly 1 in 5 students, a factor worth watching since it can affect achievement. Some context is limited: free/reduced lunch is not reported, spending data dates to 2018–2019, and student-teacher ratio is 17.2.
