Summary:
Zip code 45828 in Ohio contains one middle school, Coldwater Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 429 students as part of Coldwater Exempted Village, a district rated 5 stars and ranked 69th of 773 Ohio districts (91st percentile).
Coldwater Middle School is a consistently top-decile Ohio school. Its statewide rank among middle schools was 98th of 1,046 (91st percentile) in 2025–2026, 87th of 1,036 (92nd percentile) in 2024–2025, and 100th of 1,046 (90th percentile) in 2023–2024, earning 5 stars each year. Test results beat the state in every reported subject and grade in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Math is the standout: proficiency averaged 85.2% at the school versus about 54.0% statewide in 2025–2026, and 86.95% versus about 51.55% in 2024–2025. Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 100% in both years, compared with district rates of 86.9% and 87.0% and state rates of about 60%. Science and English Language Arts are also above state averages, though by narrower margins; 5th grade ELA reached 92.8% in 2024–2025, and 6th grade ELA improved from 68.1% to 79.1% the following year. 8th grade science dipped from 82.5% to 76.5%, still well above the state's 61.2%.
Chronic absenteeism is very low at 1.9% in 2025–2026, half the district's 3.8%, which likely supports the strong academic results. The student-teacher ratio was 15.1 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $10,534 in 2018–2019. Some context is not reported: the free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, so socioeconomic background cannot be assessed, and there is only one middle school in the zip code, so no local peer comparison is possible. For grades 5–8, school and district proficiency rates match exactly, suggesting this school drives the district's results at those grades.
