Summary:
Middletown, Indiana has five listed schools, all part of the Shenandoah School Corporation: two elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools (one of which is an online academy serving grades 6–12). Together they enroll 1,771 students. The district as a whole is ranked 241 of 374 Indiana districts, at the 36th percentile with 2 stars — but that single rating hides a very wide spread, since individual schools range from 4 stars down to 0 stars.
Shenandoah Elementary School is the strongest school in the area: 4 stars, ranked 182 of 1,015 elementary schools (82nd percentile), and a repeat 4-star performer over the past three years. Its math results are exceptional — 69.23% proficient across all grades, 82.65% in 3rd grade, and 76% in 4th grade — and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 4.8%. Shenandoah Middle School is the other standout, also 4-star and steady at 72nd percentile (134 of 486 middle schools), with ELA of 44.3%. Shenandoah High School is more mixed: a 98.8% graduation rate, well above the state’s 89.7%, but only 2 stars, 49th percentile, and chronic absenteeism of 20.8%, higher than the state’s 16.7%.
The two Indiana eSchool Academy K-5 and Indiana eSchool Academy 6-12 schools are the clear red flags. Together they enroll 441 students — about a quarter of all students listed — yet K-5 is 0-star (977 of 1,015, 4th percentile) with 10% ELA and 2.5% math proficiency, and 6-12 is 1-star with 12.35% ELA, 6.17% math, and a reported 0.0% graduation rate. Notably, higher spending and lower student-teacher ratios do not track with better results here, and attendance worsens as students move from elementary to middle to high school.
