Summary:
Middle schools in the School City of Hobart district come down to a single campus: Hobart Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 with 905 students at 36 E 8th St in Hobart, Indiana. Because it is the only middle school in the district, there are no in-district middle schools to compare it against; the most useful yardsticks are the district overall, which ranks 112th of 374 Indiana districts (70th percentile, 4 stars), and Indiana state averages.
The school's clearest strengths are English language arts, Biology, and attendance. In 2025–26, all-grades ELA proficiency was 47.49%, above the district's 46.25%, and it beat the state at every reported grade — 6th grade by 3.79 points, 7th grade by 4.29 points, and 8th grade by 7.49 points, with 8th grade's 51.49% the highest grade-level result in the data. Biology End-of-Course proficiency was 81.71% in 2025–26 and 86.49% in 2024–25; the 2024–25 figure was 35.93 points above the district and 40.89 points above the state, though it likely reflects a specific accelerated cohort and should be read with some caution. Chronic absenteeism was 11.1%, well below Indiana's 16.7%, though slightly above the district's 10.7%.
Math and science are the relative weak spots. All-grades math proficiency was 34.5% versus the district's 43.24%, and grade-level math trailed the state in every reported grade (6th by 2.35 points, 7th by 2.8 points, 8th by 1.97 points), with 8th grade's 32.23% the lowest. Science came in at 35.89%, below the district's 39.14% and 5.31 points below the state in 6th grade. Year over year, ELA gained 4.78 points, while math, science, and Biology all declined. Rank has been stable at the 63rd–65th percentile with 3 stars. For context, 52.6% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio is 18.2:1, and per-student spending is $12,110.
