Summary:
Eastbrook Middle School is the only middle school in Eastbrook Community School Corp, serving grades 6–8 with 358 students in Marion, Indiana. The district is ranked 124 of 374 districts, at the 67th percentile with 3 stars. Because there is only one middle school, district grade 6–8 figures often match the school’s figures, so state comparisons are more useful. Context metrics show 43.3% free/reduced lunch, $8,418 per-student spending, and a 15.9 student–teacher ratio.
Academically, the school’s upper grades are a bright spot. Eighth-grade ELA is 60.17% proficient versus 44.0% statewide, a 16.17-point lead, and eighth-grade math is 38.98% versus 34.2%, up 4.78 points. Seventh-grade ELA is 43.69% versus 41.7%, and seventh-grade math is 35.92% versus 35.9%, both at or slightly above state. Biology End of Course is an outlier: 97.37% proficient in 2025–26 and 95% in 2024–25, compared with 45.6% state in 2024–25; this likely reflects a specialized group, not typical middle-school science. Chronic absenteeism is 13.7%, better than the state’s 16.7% but above the district’s 12.0%. Sixth grade is a pressure point: ELA is 27.78% versus 41.3% state (−13.52 points), science is 33.64% versus 41.2% (−7.56), and math is 33.33% versus 40.2% (−6.87). Math overall fell from 40.63% to 36.17%, a 4.46-point decline, and is 8.09 points below the district all-grade figure of 44.26%. ELA overall stayed flat at 44.38%, while science fell from 36.94% to 33.64% but ended slightly above the district’s 33.33%.
The school’s rank declined from 90 of 491, 82nd percentile and 4 stars in 2023–24 to 184 of 486, 62nd percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26. Overall, Eastbrook Middle School remains mid-to-upper in state rank but is trending downward. Parents should note strong 8th-grade ELA and math, an exceptional but specialized Biology result, and better-than-state absenteeism, while watching 6th-grade gaps and weakening math.
