While the South Harrison Com Schools district is ranked 95 out of 380 in Indiana and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, New Middletown Elementary School faces some challenges. The school has consistently lower proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages, with the largest gaps in 3rd grade ELA and 5th grade Science. Additionally, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 19.4% over the past few years, which is above the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.91% to 58.65%.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 170 out of 1,033 Indiana elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 445 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for students and teachers.
