Summary:
Middle Schools in Wawasee Community School Corp are represented by one school, Wawasee Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 608 students in Syracuse, Indiana. Because it is the only middle school in the district, there is no in-district middle-school peer comparison, so the useful comparisons are to the district, the state, and the school’s own prior years.
Academically, the clearest bright spot is Science: all-grade proficiency rose from 29.8% in 2024–2025 to 34.9% in 2025–2026, a gain of 5.1 percentage points, and its gap to the district is the smallest of the three tested subjects at 2.5 points. Math is the largest weakness, at 26.5% all-grade, 10.11 points below the district; 7th-grade Math is the lowest reported area at 23.08%, 12.82 points below the state. ELA declined from 32.66% to 28.33%, and every reported ELA grade is below the state, with 7th grade 17.6 points behind. Since district 6th–8th-grade scores match the school’s, the district’s higher all-grade averages suggest elementary grades are outperforming the middle school.
The school’s broader profile is mixed. Wawasee Middle School has been rated 2 stars for three years, but its percentile slipped from 46 to 38 to 36, and its rank moved from 266 of 491 to 312 of 486.
