Summary:
Tipton Community School Corp operates a single middle school, Tipton Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The district is ranked 102 out of 380 in Indiana and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, but Tipton Middle School itself has a more modest performance record.
Tipton Middle School's proficiency rates in ILEARN/English Language Arts and Math are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in 7th grade English and 6th grade Math. However, the school's science proficiency rates are stronger, with 51.96% of students proficient or better in 6th grade science, compared to the state average of 42.4%. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% and a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 40.32%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,547, its academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its ranking among Indiana middle schools fluctuating between 209 out of 485 in 2023-2024 and 273 out of 489 in 2022-2023. The school's performance in science appears to be a relative strength, but the challenges posed by the socioeconomic factors and the inconsistent academic outcomes suggest that further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to improve the overall performance of Tipton Middle School within the Tipton Community School Corp district.
