Summary:
Knox Community School Corp in Indiana has one middle school, Knox Community Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 474 students. The district ranks 245th of 374 in Indiana, at the 34th percentile with 2 stars, while the school placed at the 37th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. Because it is the only middle school in the district, comparisons are mainly against its own history, its district, and Indiana benchmarks.
For parents, the clearest strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism at Knox Community Middle School was 6.3% in 2024–2025, far below Indiana’s 16.7% and only slightly above the district’s 5.6%. Biology End-of-Course results are also striking: 80.00% proficient in 2025–2026 compared with the district’s 43.61%, and 83.33% in 2024–2025 compared with the district’s 36.54% and the state’s 45.6%; this may reflect a small or selective test-taking group. In 2025–2026, 8th grade Math was 36.28%, above the state’s 34.2%, and 8th grade ELA was 38.94%, the school’s highest ELA grade and closest to the state’s 44.0%. 5th grade Social Studies improved from 21.09% to 37.90%, though it remains below the state’s 47.2%.
Core ILEARN proficiency is below state levels in most grades and subjects, and the school trails its district in all-grade ELA, Math, and Science in both reported years. The biggest concerns are 7th grade ELA at 20.97% versus the state’s 41.7% (a 20.73 percentage-point gap), 7th grade Math at 21.77% versus 35.9% (14.13 points below), and 6th grade Science at 24.03% versus 41.2% (17.17 points below). All-grade Science declined from 31.03% to 24.03%, ELA was relatively stable and narrowed its district gap, and Math slipped slightly while losing ground against the district. Overall, the school is lower-middle in state rankings with strong attendance and standout Biology EOC results, but core proficiency remains the main challenge.
