Middle Schools in Northwest Allen County Schools

Summary:

The Northwest Allen County Schools district in Indiana is home to two middle schools: Carroll Middle School and Maple Creek Middle School. Based on the available data, Maple Creek Middle School appears to be the standout performer in the district.

Maple Creek Middle School consistently ranks higher than Carroll Middle School in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, placing 66th out of 480 Indiana middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year compared to Carroll's 126th ranking. Maple Creek also has higher proficiency rates than Carroll across all ILEARN subject areas, including English Language Arts, Math, and Science, for both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. Additionally, Maple Creek's proficiency rates exceed the district and state averages in most subject areas, while Carroll's tend to lag behind.

While both schools have the same chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, there are some differences in other key metrics. Carroll Middle School spends $8,676 per student, while Maple Creek spends $8,064 per student. Carroll has a lower student-teacher ratio of 19.6 compared to Maple Creek's 21.1. These differences in spending and staffing ratios may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools, but further investigation would be needed to fully understand the factors driving the disparity.
