Summary:
The Parma City school district in Ohio is home to three middle schools serving grades 6-8: Greenbriar Middle School, Hillside Middle School, and Shiloh Middle School. Based on the available data, Hillside Middle School appears to be the standout performer, ranking 328 out of 1,046 Ohio middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hillside Middle School students outperform the Parma City and Ohio state averages on most standardized tests, with particularly strong results in 5th grade science and math. The school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the other two middle schools. Additionally, Hillside spends the most per student at $10,897, which may contribute to its higher performance.
While Hillside stands out, there are still significant performance gaps between the three middle schools. For example, in 8th grade math, Hillside's proficiency rate is 63.4% compared to just 35.5% at Shiloh Middle School. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Greenbriar (60.75%) and Shiloh (65.17%) suggest potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes. Chronic absenteeism rates also vary widely, from 20.3% at Hillside to 31.4% at Shiloh, which is an area for the district to address.
