Summary:
Zip code 44839 in Huron, Ohio is served by exactly one middle school: McCormick Middle School, part of Huron City Schools. It enrolls about 267 students in grades 6–8, so there is no in-area peer to compare it against — the meaningful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Ohio. McCormick has earned 4 stars in each of the last three state rankings, placing it in the top fifth of Ohio middle schools (81st percentile in 2025-26, down from 86th in 2024-25).
Academically, McCormick outperformed the state average on every assessment reported in both 2025-26 and 2024-25. The flashiest results are two End of Course exams at 100% proficiency — Geometry (state: 43.3%) and Algebra I (state: 61.6%) — though these are typically taken by a subset of advanced math students rather than the full grade. Among full-grade tests, 6th-grade math was the standout improvement, climbing from 61.1% to 80.8% proficiency. The clearest weak spot is 7th-grade math, which fell from 67.3% to 56.9% and is now the lowest proficiency of any assessment, with the smallest margin over the state (+8.3 points).
Two things temper the picture. First, the school's average margin over the state narrowed from about +19.8 points to +15.4, six of eight comparable tests declined year over year, and state rank slipped from 142nd to 198th. Second, chronic absenteeism stands at 11.8%, about 2 points above the district's 9.8% — roughly one in eight students. Note that the per-student spending figure ($8,393) reflects 2018-19, and no prior-year or statewide absenteeism benchmark is available, so those numbers should be read with caution.
