Klondike Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Indiana, receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the district and state averages in ILEARN proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Klondike's proficiency rates were 56.11% in ELA, 52.94% in Math, and 60.61% in Science, compared to the district's 46.54%, 49.95%, and 51.56%, respectively. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while fluctuating, is lower than some nearby schools, and its percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is also relatively low compared to neighboring schools.

Klondike Middle School's success can be attributed to its effective teaching practices, supportive learning environment, and potentially additional resources and community support.

The school has some good teachers, and most of the staff is nice, but most the classes are an absolute joke. The administration at the school is terrible and gets nothing major to improve this school which desperately needs improvement. Close Quote
