Middle Schools in Willard City

There is only one middle school located in Willard City, Ohio - Willard Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has an enrollment of 299 students, with a diverse student body that is predominantly White (66.22%) and Hispanic (29.77%).

Willard Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages in Ohio, ranking in the bottom half of middle schools in the state for the past three years. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5% and generally lower test scores than the state average, with the exception of Algebra I. A significant portion (66.22%) of Willard Middle School's students come from low-income families and receive free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.6 to 1, Willard Middle School has struggled to provide a high-quality education to its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the school's underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and other issues will likely require a comprehensive approach involving increased resources, targeted interventions, and a focus on improving teaching and learning.
