Summary:
The Vincennes Community School Corp district in Indiana has only one middle school, George Rogers Clark School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with test scores consistently below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
George Rogers Clark School's ILEARN proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were 31.16% in ELA and 26.47% in Math, compared to the district averages of 31.48% and 32.7%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, dropping from 237 out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 287 out of 480 in 2024-2025. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $10,762, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement.
The school's demographic and socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges. George Rogers Clark School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (56.87%), indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13:1, suggest that the school is making efforts to provide personalized attention, but the academic outcomes have not yet reflected these efforts. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the specific needs of the school's student population and improve overall academic performance.
