Summary

Clarksville Middle School is a public middle school in Clarksville, Indiana, serving 410 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Clarksville Community School Corporation, which is ranked 308 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clarksville Middle School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores in English Language Arts and Math, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Over the past 10 years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 182 and 360 out of Indiana's middle schools, with a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In comparison, nearby schools like Highland Hills Middle School in the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district have significantly higher proficiency rates in both subjects.

The school's declining performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 182 in 2018-2019 to 252 in 2024-2025, is concerning. While the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor, the school and district will need to implement targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, November 6, 2020

This is a heavily Democratic Middle School who claims to use the money they are charging for Covid masks to put toward the school but the school is a dump. Management needs to change in this school big time. I thought that they were handling Covid well until they lied to all of the parents. They promised the schedule would be half and half Virtual and Physical School. What happened instead was they were off for 2 weeks then went in and stayed for months until the 20th child contracted Covid. They are now allowing kids to be home for another 2 weeks. My son said they do not have anyone performing extra cleaning. I asked "not even the kids cleaning their own areas before the next kids come in?" He said "no. we just get up and leave like normal and watch as other kids walk right in and go to the seats we've been sitting at." I find it curious how this school claims they have been following the restrictions when in all reality, they are just operating like everything is normal. Close Quote
