Summary:
Middle schools in Oak Hill United School Corp — a 4-star district ranked 106th of 374 in Indiana, in the 72nd percentile — are split across two schools: Swayzee Elementary School, serving grades 5–6 with 248 students, and Oak Hill Junior High School, serving grades 7–8 with 234 students, for 482 middle-grade students combined. Because the two buildings cover different grade bands, comparing them grade by grade and subject by subject is more useful than comparing them as whole schools.
Oak Hill Junior High School has the more consistent record, ranking near the 80th percentile of Indiana middle schools with 4 stars in each of the last three years. Its strongest results are in 8th grade: ELA 58.33% proficient versus 44% statewide, and Math 55.83% versus 34.2%. Seventh grade Math also beats the state (38.21% vs. 35.9%), while 7th grade ELA trails slightly (39.02% vs. 41.7%). It has the smaller classes (12.4 students per teacher), spends $11,756 per student, and reports 8.8% chronic absenteeism — roughly half the state's 16.7%, though slightly above the district's 7.9%.
Swayzee Elementary School stands out most in 5th grade Social Studies, where 75.93% of students were proficient against 47.2% statewide (and 69.17% vs. 38.5% the year before) — the strongest subject result in the data. It also exceeds state in 5th grade Math (57.01% vs. 42%), 6th grade Math (53.68% vs. 40.2%), and 6th grade Science (55.15% vs. 41.2%), and its attendance is the best of the two at 5.9% chronic absenteeism. ELA is the weak spot: all-grades ELA is 40.41%, below the district's 43.87% and down from 50.4% a year earlier, with 5th and 6th grade ELA just under state. Overall, both are 4-star, above-state options — Oak Hill Junior High for steady rankings and 8th grade reading and math, Swayzee for social studies, math, science, and attendance.
