The middle schools located in the 45840 zip code area consist of three schools: Glenwood Middle School, Donnell Middle School, and Liberty-Benton Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are located within the Findlay City and Liberty-Benton Local school districts.
Among the three schools, Liberty-Benton Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 101 middle schools in Ohio and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in science, math, and English language arts across multiple grade levels. In contrast, Glenwood Middle School and Donnell Middle School have more average performance, ranking in the middle 300s to 400s among Ohio middle schools, though they still perform above the state averages in many areas.
The demographic differences between the schools may contribute to the performance gap, with Liberty-Benton Middle School having a significantly higher percentage of white students and lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to the other two schools. Additionally, the relatively consistent spending per student across the schools suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, likely play a significant role in determining the schools' success.
