Summary:
Fayette County School Corporation has exactly one middle school, Connersville Middle School, serving grades 7–8 to 434 students at 1900 Grand Ave in Connersville, Indiana. Because it is the district's only middle school, families in this Fayette County School Corporation area have a single option, and its latest profile shows a clear upward move: it ranked 160th of 486 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, up from 311th of 480 (35th percentile, 2 stars) the year before — a 151-position jump. The district itself is listed at 191st of 374 (49th percentile, 2 stars), though the two rankings come from different pools and are not directly comparable.
Academically, English language arts is the strength. In 2025–2026, 8th grade ELA proficiency was 52.45% versus 44% statewide, and 7th grade ELA was 44.19% versus 41.7%. All-grade ELA climbed from 32.20% to 48.21% in one year, landing nearly 10 points above the district's all-grade figure of 38.34%. Math is the weaker subject: all-grade math was 32.94% against the district's 43.30%, and 8th grade math was 27.94% — the only grade-level result below its state comparison of 34.2%. The 8th grade ELA-to-math gap is 24.51 points, much wider than 7th grade's 6.52-point gap. All-grade math also improved, rising from 22.44% to 32.94%.
Context matters when reading these results. Chronic absenteeism was 24.1% in 2024–2025 — well above the state's 16.7%, though slightly below the district's 24.7%. About 58.76% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,332, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.4. Overall, families can expect strong and improving ELA performance, particularly in 8th grade, with math — especially in 8th grade — and attendance as the main areas to watch.
