Summary

Silver Creek Middle School is a public middle school in Sellersburg, Indiana, serving 754 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Silver Creek School Corporation, which is ranked 86 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Silver Creek Middle School consistently performs above the state average in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels, with proficiency rates generally higher than the district-wide scores. However, the school has experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 10.8% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which may impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 20.83% in 2021-2022 to 36.6% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students who may require additional support.

Compared to nearby schools, Silver Creek Middle School generally outperforms schools in the Greater Clark County Schools district, such as Parkview Middle School and Scottsburg Middle School. However, some nearby schools, like Highland Hills Middle School and Charlestown Middle School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding those of Silver Creek Middle School in certain subject areas.
