Summary

Covington Middle School is a small public middle school at 514 Railroad St in Covington, Indiana, serving 178 students in grades 6–8 as the only middle school in the Covington Community School Corp — and since there are no other schools within 20 miles, it is the only nearby option for local families.

By state rankings, this is a high performer: it ranks 64th of 486 Indiana middle schools (87th percentile) and has held a 4-star rating for nine straight years. Every grade-level test result in 2025-26 beat the state average, with grade 6 a clear strength — ELA, math, and science margins of roughly +18 to +20 points over the state. Grade 7 is the soft spot (45.83% in ELA and 43.75% in math), still above the state but the weakest in the building. Against its own district, the school leads in English language arts (52.63% vs. 44.00%) and science (61.04% vs. 56.55%) but trails in math (51.32% vs. 53.74%) — the only subject where it falls behind, and it has trailed every year on record, even as math proficiency has climbed four years in a row.

Chronic absenteeism is 12.1%, comfortably below the state's 16.7% but above the district's 10.5% for the first time since 2020-21. The school spends $9,710 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 10.7, down from 12.9 the year before, with about 39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The takeaway for families: this is a strong, stable school with standout results in grade 6 and in science, but math and the grade-7 cohort are the two areas worth asking about, and attendance is the one measure where it no longer leads locally.
