Summary

Silver Creek Middle School is a grades 6–8 school at 495 N Indiana Ave in Sellersburg, Indiana, serving 748 students as the middle-level campus of the Silver Creek School Corporation. The school has climbed steadily in Indiana's statewide middle-school rankings, from the 65th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 81st percentile in 2025–2026, when it ranked 90th of 486 schools and earned 4 stars. Its district ranks 73rd of 374 Indiana districts — the highest-ranked district of any school in this comparison group.

Among nine nearby middle schools, Silver Creek is a top-three performer. Its 2025–2026 scores beat the peer average by roughly 11 points in ELA (52.9 vs. about 41.5), 13 points in math (46.8 vs. about 34.2), and 9 points in science (45.3 vs. about 36.7), and it outperforms Indiana in every reported grade and subject. Eighth-grade ELA is the standout: 63.7% proficient, nearly 20 points above the state, and close to the school-wide ELA of 5-star Highland Hills Middle School (64.6%). Chronic absenteeism (13.2%) is the second-lowest of the ten schools and well under the state's 16.7%, against a peer median of 22.6% — Charlestown Middle School, for example, earns a similar state rank with 22.3% chronic absenteeism.

Silver Creek also spends less than most neighbors. Its $9,298 per student is roughly $1,100 below the peer average and $1,800–$2,300 below Nathaniel Scribner Middle School, Hazelwood Middle School, and River Valley Middle School, all of which rank 119 to 244 places lower statewide and trail it across every subject. Class sizes are larger, at 17.8 students per teacher. Two things to watch: 6th-grade ELA is the narrowest margin over state (+3.4 points), and chronic absenteeism rose from 10.8% to 13.2% in 2024–2025. Note that several nearby schools include 5th grade, so their all-grade figures cover a wider span than Silver Creek's.
