Middle Schools in Plymouth Community School Corp

The Plymouth Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to two middle schools: Lincoln Junior High School and Riverside Intermediate. These schools serve students in grades 5-8, providing a crucial educational foundation for the community.

While both schools face challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and a significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, there are notable differences in their academic performance. Riverside Intermediate stands out with higher proficiency rates in Math and Science compared to Lincoln Junior High School. Additionally, Lincoln Junior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and star rating over the past few years, indicating a need for further investigation and potential interventions.

Despite these differences, both schools face significant performance gaps between their students and the state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. This suggests that the Plymouth Community School Corp district may benefit from a closer examination of its resource allocation, instructional practices, and strategies to support student success across all its middle schools.
