Original Research by School Decision on Eversole Run Middle School
Eversole Run Middle School serves students in grades six through eight within the Dublin City district and is located in Plain City, a small village blending Amish and agricultural heritage with modern suburban growth about 18 to 25 miles northwest of Columbus. The school draws from a community that is predominantly residential, with most working residents commuting to Dublin, Marysville, or Columbus for employment, and Plain City itself is in a sustained growth phase with multiple residential and commercial developments underway.
The school's testing performance across Ohio's state assessments falls above the midpoint for overall proficiency when compared to other districts in Union County. In English language arts, proficiency exceeds 85 percent. Mathematics proficiency is solid in the low 80s. Science proficiency runs in the low 80s, with a smaller number of students tested. Participation rates across all three subjects are near universal, suggesting strong attendance on test days and few exemptions.
The enrollment stands at roughly 850 students spread across the three middle grades, with slightly larger cohorts in sixth and eighth grade than seventh. The school's student body is predominantly white and Asian, with smaller shares of Hispanic and Black students. A very small share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating an overall affluent school community. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the records examined.
The broader Dublin City district context matters for families considering this school. The district passed a combined bond and operating levy in November 2023 to fund a new elementary school, preschool expansion, capital improvements, and full-day kindergarten starting in the 2025-26 school year. That levy increased property taxes. More directly relevant to middle school families, the district completed a comprehensive K-8 redistricting tied to the opening of Bishop Elementary, with new elementary and middle school boundaries taking effect in fall 2025. Families should verify current and future attendance zones before purchasing property, as the district is pursuing further high school redistricting for 2026-27, the first such change in roughly two decades.
The district has also announced reductions in academic offerings following the levy debate, including eliminations of instructional coaches and cuts to the middle and high school course handbooks. These reductions have narrowed World Language courses, International Baccalaureate classes, Advanced Placement offerings, middle school double-block Language Arts, and fine and performing arts courses, as well as any course with fewer than 20 students. A parent may want to check with the district directly about what specific middle school electives and advanced options remain in place for incoming students.
Plain City itself is at the junction of US Route 42 and State Route 161, placing it about 18 to 25 miles from Columbus. The historic downtown on Main Street is walkable and anchored by the Plain City Public Library, Pastime Park, McKitrick Park, and longtime establishments like Der Dutchman and Yutzy's Farm Market, along with newer local businesses. Outside downtown, the village is low-density and car-oriented. Median home values in the zip code are above state benchmarks, and rents are correspondingly moderate-to-high relative to income. The region's labor market includes Honda and Scotts Miracle-Gro in nearby Marysville, The Ohio State University, and other Columbus-area employers, which support the commuter population that defines Plain City's economic base.
