Summary:
Middle schools in Carroll Consolidated School Corp serve grades 7–8 at a single campus: Carroll Junior High School, located at 2362 E Sr 18 in Flora, Indiana, with 143 students. Because this is the only middle school in the district, every 7th and 8th grader in the area attends this school — there is no other middle-level campus to compare it with locally. The district as a whole ranks 216 of 374 statewide (42nd percentile, 2 stars), and the school’s current rank for 2025–2026 is 336 of 486 (31st percentile, 2 stars).
The school’s strongest features are its attendance and its small, well-staffed setting. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was just 4.7%, compared with 10.9% for the district and 16.7% statewide — less than one-third of the state rate. The student-teacher ratio was 10.7, and per-student spending was $10,039 in 2023–2024. Enrollment of 143 students in grades 7–8 is small enough to support individualized attention, and 48.25% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, so the low absenteeism stands out.
Academics are the main concern. In 2025–2026 ILEARN results, all-grades English Language Arts proficiency was 22.93%, down 10.88 points from 33.81% in 2024–2025, and math was 27.39%, down 10.74 points from 38.13%. Eighth-grade ELA proficiency was 21.74% versus 44.0% statewide (22.26 points below), and 7th-grade ELA was 23.86% versus 41.7% (17.84 points below). Math gaps were narrower: 7th grade was 28.41% versus 35.9% statewide, and 8th grade was 26.09% versus 34.2%. This matches the school’s rank slide from 201 of 480 (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 and 218 of 491 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 down to 336 of 486 and 2 stars today.
