Summary:
ZIP code 45335 (Jamestown, Ohio) is served by a single middle school: Greeneview Middle School, part of the Greeneview Local district. It serves grades 4 through 7 with 440 students — an unusual configuration that blends upper-elementary and middle grades. The school is essentially the district's only provider of tested grades, so school and district results are nearly identical. About 40.23% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 19.1 to 1.
Academically, the school outperforms Ohio almost everywhere: 17 of 18 school-versus-state comparisons are above average, and the average margin grew from +8.6 points to +10.0 points. Grade 4 is the anchor — math at 87.5% proficient, 20.2 points above the state, and ELA at 79.0% — and those results held steady across two different cohorts of students. Grade 5 ELA jumped 14.5 points to 81.9%, and grade 5 science improved to 69.8%. The advantage shrinks as students move up: grade 6 margins sit around +10 to +12 points, while grade 7 is only +4.4 in math and +2.5 in ELA. Grade 7 math, at 53.0%, is the lowest of the nine measures and fell 12.7 points from the prior year.
One puzzle stands out: even as test scores rose, the school's state rank slipped from the 81st percentile in 2023-24 to 71st to 67th, and its star rating dropped from 4 to 3. Rankings compare the school with other Ohio schools, so improving scores can still mean a falling rank if peers improve faster. Chronic absenteeism is 16.7%, better than the district's 18.6%, though roughly 1 in 6 students is chronically absent. Parents should note that the per-student spending figure ($8,965) dates to 2018-19 and is not a current number.
