Summary:
Edinburgh Community Middle School is the only middle school in Edinburgh Community School Corp, serving grades 6–8 to about 179 students in Edinburgh, Indiana, which means families here have a single local option for the middle grades and the most useful comparisons are against state averages and the school's own past results.
Academically the picture is mixed, with one clear bright spot. In 2025–26 ILEARN results, 8th grade Math was the only reported grade-level subject where the school beat the Indiana average, at 37.25% proficient versus 34.2% statewide. Most other areas lag: 6th grade ELA was 31.25% against 41.3% statewide, 8th grade ELA 39.22% versus 44%, 6th grade Math 28.13% versus 40.2%, and 7th grade Math 21.67% versus 35.9%. The biggest concern is 7th grade ELA, where only 15% of students were proficient compared with 41.7% statewide, a gap of 26.7 percentage points. Science is also weak: 6th grade Science was 25% against 41.2% statewide, and all-grade Science slipped from 26.98% to 25% year over year. There is progress, though, as all-grade ELA rose from 22.62% to 28% and Math from 24.4% to 28.57%.
Outside of test scores, chronic absenteeism is 17.4%, lower than the district's 25.2% but just above the state's 16.7%. About 54.75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school spends $12,267 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.7 to 1. The school's state rank improved from the 28th percentile with 1 star in 2024–25 to the 35th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, though that remains below 2023–24's 39th percentile. With roughly 60 students per grade, small changes in student counts can shift percentages noticeably, so single-year swings should be read with caution.
