Summary:
Triton Central Schools includes a single middle school, Triton Central Middle School, which serves grades 5–8 with 426 students in Fairland, Indiana. Because it is the only middle school in the Triton Central Schools district, its grade-level results are also the district’s middle-grade results, so there is no in-district comparison to make. The district itself ranks 91st of 374 Indiana districts, the 76th percentile, with 4 stars.
The school’s clearest strengths are subject- and grade-specific. Fifth grade Social Studies is a standout: 67.01% of students were proficient in 2025–2026 against 47.2% statewide, a gap of +19.81 percentage points, and up sharply from 46.67% the prior year. Fifth grade Math is also strong at 52.58% versus 42.0% statewide, a +10.58 point advantage. ELA is above the state in most grades, including grade 8 at 52.25% versus 44.0% and grade 6 at 48.28% versus 41.3%. Attendance is a relative strength too, with chronic absenteeism at 13.1%, below the district’s 14.2% and the state’s 16.7%, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.3:1.
The main concern is Math, where all-grades proficiency was 38.56% against 48.15% in the district, a gap of 9.59 percentage points, and down from 40.34% the prior year. Grade 7 Math is especially weak at 28.72%, which is 7.18 points below the state’s 35.9%. Science also slipped from 44.68% to 40.23%, though the district fell further, leaving the school above district in 2025–2026. The school’s rank has slid from 126th of 491 in 2023–2024 to 133rd of 480 and then 171st of 486, with its star rating dropping from 4 to 3 stars. Free/reduced-price lunch participation is 37.56%, and per-student spending is $10,165.
