Summary:
Mt. Vernon Middle School is the sole middle school within the Mt. Vernon Community School Corp in Indiana, serving students in grades 6-8. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 125th out of 480-489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 155th in 2024-2025, despite maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years before dropping to a 3-star rating in 2024-2025.
Academically, Mt. Vernon Middle School has generally struggled to meet state proficiency averages in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with some exceptions in specific grade levels. The school's 34.12% free and reduced-price lunch rate suggests a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact student outcomes.
Despite these challenges, Mt. Vernon Middle School maintains a student-teacher ratio of 15.1, which is within a typical range for middle schools. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year is $10,577, providing insight into the resources available to support student learning. As the sole middle school in the district, further analysis of district-level data could provide more context for the school's relative standing and help identify areas for improvement.
