Minerva Local Schools' Strong Spring 2026 Test Scores and Rising Attendance Rates: Preliminary Data
It is a Great Day to be a Minerva Lion!
Minerva Local Schools recently received preliminary data from the Spring 2026 Ohio State Test (OST) administration; district leadership is excited about the early results!
The Ohio State Tests are standardized assessments used to measure student mastery of Ohio’s Learning Standards across grades 3–8 and high school end-of-course exams.
Minerva Local demonstrated academic growth: students scored proficient or above at a rate higher than the State average in 16 of 18 State-tested areas (with grade three results still pending). This data is an increase from Spring 2025 results, in which we were proficient or above at a rate higher than the State average in 13 of 18 State-tested areas.
The district's academic success goes hand in hand with student engagement. Driven by the district mission statement, "Every child, every minute, every day," Minerva Local Schools saw its overall student attendance rate climb to 95.9% for the 2025–2026 school year, a 2% increase over last school year. While only 2%, it is huge growth and has required regular communication and collaboration with our families.
Minerva Local appreciates the hard work of our students, teachers, administration, and support staff. Thank you to our supportive parents and community who take great pride in our students and school district.
Go Lions!

Our 8th graders are spending the day at Cedar Point today and we hope they are having the BEST time making memories with friends before heading off to high school! 🎢☀️🦁 #minervapride
Our 8th graders had a busy and memorable day today at MMS! We celebrated their last three years with a cookout during lunch, followed by some great advice and encouragement from Danika Wagner and Braydon Wood. They did an amazing job talking with our students about getting involved and what high school life is really like.
Students also enjoyed watching a slideshow filled with memories from their time at MMS and had the chance to sign yearbooks with friends and staff. Tomorrow they are off to Cedar Point for their class trip before wrapping up their final day on Friday.
What a special week for an amazing group of students! #minervapride 🦁
