Middle Schools in C A Beard Memorial School Corp

Summary:

The C A Beard Memorial School Corp district in Indiana has only one middle school, Knightstown Intermediate School, which serves grades 5-8. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as ILEARN, is consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average.

Knightstown Intermediate School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 50.27% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's spending per student for the 2023-2024 school year was $11,568, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is lower than the state average. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.

The data indicates that the school's performance has declined over the past three years, with proficiency rates in both ELA and Math dropping across multiple grade levels. This suggests that the C A Beard Memorial School Corp may be facing broader systemic challenges that are impacting the performance of its only middle school. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
