Summary:
There is only one middle school located in Alliance City, Ohio - Alliance Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and has an enrollment of 602 students. The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on state tests significantly lower than the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts.
Alliance Middle School has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past three years, from 631 out of 1,017 Ohio middle schools in 2021-2022 to 678 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024. The school has maintained a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger during this period. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.2%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
The racial composition of Alliance Middle School's student body is 66.28% White, 13.46% African American, 6.48% Hispanic, 0.17% Asian, and 13.62% two or more races. This suggests the need to examine equity and access issues within the school. Despite the school's high spending per student ($7,669) and relatively low student-teacher ratio (16.4), these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the school's performance challenges should be a priority for the Alliance City education system.
