Middle Schools in Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District

Summary:

Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District has only one middle school, Union County Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking dropping from 178 out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 271 out of 485 in 2023-2024. Its proficiency rates in core subjects like ILEARN/English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages, indicating a need for improvement.

Union County Middle School faces equity challenges, with a high percentage of students (51.31% in 2023-2024) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's chronic absenteeism rate was also relatively high at 17.8% in 2023-2024, which may impact student learning and achievement. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and higher spending per student of $10,513, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes.

Overall, Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District and Union County Middle School need to implement targeted strategies to address the declining performance, equity concerns, and low proficiency rates in core subjects. Developing a comprehensive plan to improve student learning and achievement should be a priority for the school and the district.
