Summary:
Jasper Middle School is the only middle school in Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools, serving grades 6–8 to 709 students in Jasper, Indiana, within a district that ranks 46th of 374 Indiana districts (88th percentile, 4 stars).
Jasper Middle School is a consistent top-decile performer. It ranked 50th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–26 (90th percentile, 4 stars), after 49th of 480 in 2024–25 and 55th of 491 in 2023–24 — both also 4-star years, so this is sustained performance rather than a one-year spike. In 2025–26, proficiency was above the state average in every reported grade-level ILEARN subject. The smallest margins were still substantial: 6th-grade science came in +10.96 percentage points above the state and 7th-grade ELA +11.1 points, while the largest was 6th-grade math at +21.37 points. Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism was 4.3% in 2024–25, compared with 5.4% for the district and 16.7% statewide — roughly one-quarter of the state rate.
A few details are worth watching. Math proficiency is very high in 6th grade (61.57% vs. the state's 40.2%) but declines to 51.60% in 7th and 47.06% in 8th, though both remain well above state averages. At the all-grade level, the school's math (53.57%) trails the district's (56.72%). From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the school's all-grade math rose +1.91 points and science +1.14 points while district results declined in all three subjects. Biology End-of-Course was reported at 100% proficient both years, far above district and state figures, though it may reflect a small or specialized test-taking group. With 39.07% free/reduced lunch, a 16.4:1 student-teacher ratio, and $10,495 per-student spending, these are not extreme values — yet the results are top-decile.
