Summary:
The Greencastle Community School Corp area in Indiana is served by a single middle school: Greencastle Middle School, which enrolls 383 students in grades 6 through 8 at 400 Percy L Julian Dr in Greencastle. Because this one building is the district's entire grade 6–8 population, its grade-level results are identical to the district's, which makes the state the only meaningful outside benchmark for how the school is doing.
The results point in two directions. Sixth-grade math stands at 48% proficient against a state figure of 40.2%, and eighth-grade math is 39.06% against 34.2%. ELA is above the state line in sixth grade (44% vs. 41.3%) and eighth grade (46.09% vs. 44%). The clear exception is seventh grade, where math proficiency is 19.47% against a state rate of 35.9% — roughly 29 points below the same school's sixth-grade math — and ELA is 35.96% against 41.7%. Chronic absenteeism, at 13.4%, is better than both the district (17.9%) and the state (16.7%), a real strength for a school where about 47.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Across all grades, ELA rose 3.11 points to 42.23%, while math held roughly flat and science dipped slightly. The school ranks 183 of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, up from the 56th percentile in 2023–24. In short, this is a steady, slightly-improving school that beats the state in ELA and in grades 6 and 8 math, trails it in grade 7, and handles attendance notably well. The most actionable finding for families and staff is the seventh-grade math gap.
