Summary

Crawford County Middle School is a public middle school in Marengo, Indiana, serving 277 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Crawford County Community School Corporation, which is ranked 217 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Crawford County Middle School has shown fluctuating performance on ILEARN assessments, with its statewide ranking ranging from 43rd to 328th out of Indiana middle schools in recent years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (51.71%), Math (53.99%), and Science (47.06%) are higher than the district's overall scores, indicating the school is performing better than the district average. However, compared to nearby schools like Corydon Intermediate School and Corydon Central Junior High School, Crawford County Middle School's performance is mixed.

One significant concern is the school's high and increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which rose from 17.8% in 2023-2024 to 24.6% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Crawford County Middle School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.88% to 65.2% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Despite the school's increasing per-student spending, from $9,291 in 2020-2021 to $13,067 in 2023-2024, its academic performance has not shown a clear and consistent improvement, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the school's challenges.
