Middle Schools in Whitley County Con Schools

Summary:

The Whitley County Con Schools district in Indiana has only one middle school, Indian Springs Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 175th out of 480 Indiana middle schools in 2024-2025 to 253rd out of 485 in 2023-2024.

Indian Springs Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.57%) and Math (31.13%) below the district and state averages in 2024-2025, but a higher Science proficiency rate (52.43%) than the district average. The school also faces a notable chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may be impacting overall student achievement. However, the school benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.7 and higher per-student spending of $10,174 compared to state averages.

While Indian Springs Middle School is the sole middle school option in the Whitley County Con Schools district, the data suggests the school faces both strengths and challenges in its academic performance and student engagement. Addressing the areas of concern, such as low proficiency rates in core subjects and high chronic absenteeism, could be a priority for the school and district to ensure all students receive a well-rounded and effective education.
