MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -The Middletown School District is considering a significant redistricting plan that would change its elementary schools from a K-5 to a K-6 model, impacting over 3,300 students. Superintendent Deborah Houser stated the goal is to better allocate resources, balance enrollment, and ensure neighborhood access for younger students. While the sixth-grade center will no longer be exclusive to sixth graders, specific plans for it are still undecided. Some parents support the changes, citing concerns about transitioning to the sixth-grade school, while others worry about moving students between schools. The district is seeking feedback from families as the plan aims for implementation in the 2025-26 school year.
