Summary:
The Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp in Indiana operates three middle schools: Schmucker Middle School, Discovery Middle School, and Virgil I Grissom Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of a high-performing district, with all three middle schools ranked in the top 33 out of 380 districts in Indiana.
Based on the data, Discovery Middle School stands out as the top-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 4 middle schools in the state over the past three school years. It has the highest test scores across all subjects and grade levels, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Virgil I Grissom Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, with a lower statewide ranking and the lowest test scores, well below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals a correlation between student demographics and academic performance. Discovery Middle School has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, while Virgil I Grissom Middle School has the highest. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes within the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp.
