Summary:
The city of Middletown, Indiana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Shenandoah Elementary School, Shenandoah High School, and Shenandoah Middle School, all part of the Shenandoah School Corporation.
Among the three schools, Shenandoah Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools over the past 3 years with a 4-star rating. The school's test scores, particularly in math, are significantly above the district and state averages, and it has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%. In contrast, Shenandoah High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years, dropping from the top third to the bottom half of Indiana high schools, with test scores below state averages.
Across the district, the schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40-50%, indicating a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students. Chronic absenteeism rates are consistent at 17.8%, higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement. Spending per student varies, with the high school spending the most at $12,152 per student, while the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 13.2 to 17.9 across the three schools.
