Summary:
ZIP code 45123, covering Greenfield, Ohio, contains exactly one middle school: Greenfield Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 407 students as part of the Greenfield Exempted Village district. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there is no local peer to compare it against, so the useful benchmarks are its own performance over time, its district, and the state of Ohio.
On most measures the school outperforms both. It ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide and earns 3 stars, while its district sits in the 47th percentile with 2 stars. Greenfield Middle is at or above the state average in seven of eight tested subjects. Algebra I is the standout: 100% of test-takers scored proficient or above for two consecutive years, against a state rate of 61.6%. Eighth grade math reached 67.0% versus 52.0% statewide, and 8th grade English language arts and science also beat the state. Keep in mind that Algebra I test-takers appear to be a smaller subset rather than every 8th grader.
The concern is direction. The school's percentile slipped from 71 to 63 and its star rating from 4 to 3 over two years, while the comparison pool stayed roughly the same size. Seventh grade math is the weakest result at 49.7%, barely above the state and down 15.1 points in a single year. Sixth grade English language arts, at 50.8% against 56.0% statewide, is the only below-state result. Chronic absenteeism is 13.8%, slightly above the district's 12.7%. Encouragingly, one cohort gained nearly 11 points in English language arts from 6th to 7th grade, showing the school can move students within a year. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, and the per-student spending figure dates to 2018–2019.
