Summary:
Zip code 45430 in Beavercreek, Ohio is served by exactly one middle school: Herman K Ankeney Middle School, a grades 6–8 campus with 799 students in the Beavercreek City district. Because there is only one school here, there are no in-zip comparisons to make — the meaningful benchmarks are how the school compares with its own district and with Ohio as a whole.
Ankeney is a strong school by state standards. In 2025-26 it ranked 167th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 84th percentile, or the top sixth of the state — up from 238th the year before, and it has earned a 4-star rating in each of the three years on record. It outperforms the state on every test reported, by 12.9 to 21.3 points across the seven grade-level exams, and its End-of-Course results are extraordinary: 100% proficiency in Geometry and 98.9% in Algebra I, though those figures likely rest on a smaller accelerated cohort. Within its own district, however, the picture flips — Ankeney trails the district average in all seven grade-level tests, by 1.7 to 7.8 points. In short, it is excellent statewide but mid-pack inside a very strong district.
Two trends are worth watching. Math scores decline steadily from grade 6 to grade 8 (76.4, then 67.6, then 64.9), while ELA holds firm and even rises (70.7, 77.6, 75.8); part of that math slide may simply reflect top students moving into Algebra I and Geometry instead. Eighth-grade math also posted the largest one-year gain in the data, climbing from 48.1 to 64.9. Chronic absenteeism sits at 14.7%, above the district's 12.7%, and about 26.53% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The student-teacher ratio is 18.4:1.
