Beachwood Middle School

Beachwood Middle School serves 316 students in grades 6 through 8 in Beachwood, Ohio. It earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — and ranks #38 out of 3,440 public schools statewide, outperforming 99% of Ohio schools. Among middle schools specifically, it sits 8th out of 650 in Ohio, a direct peer comparison that shows how far it separates from the field.

Academic performance anchors that standing. The school posts a 9.7 academic score, the highest-weighted component in its composite rating. Growth — measuring year-over-year student improvement rather than snapshot proficiency — scores 8.2, a sign that students continue gaining ground rather than coasting on prior preparation.

Strong scores in both dimensions indicate results that are consistent, not driven by a single metric. The student-teacher ratio is 12.2 to 1 across a student body of 316. That scale gives teachers room to track individual progress across the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years.

Beachwood Middle is a regular public school with no selective admissions — these results come from the full district population, not a screened cohort. For families comparing middle school options in northeast Ohio, that combination of open enrollment and top-tier outcomes is worth noting.
