Summary:
Crawfordsville Community Schools has one middle school, Crawfordsville Middle School, serving grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with proficiency rates on state assessments trailing the Indiana averages. Crawfordsville Middle School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 61.36% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a higher-than-average student-teacher ratio of 14.7.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,898, which exceeds the state average, Crawfordsville Middle School's academic outcomes remain a concern. The school's statewide rank has dropped from 272 out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 260 out of 480 in 2024-2025, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 17.8%, a concerning metric. These performance challenges suggest the need for the Crawfordsville Community Schools district to explore targeted interventions and strategies to support the specific needs of the school's student population.

By focusing on effective utilization of available funds and implementing tailored support programs, the district can work to improve the educational outcomes for all students in the community.
