Summary

Wood Memorial Middle School is a small public middle school in Oakland City, Indiana, serving grades 6–8 with 157 students as part of the East Gibson School Corporation. For 2025–2026, it ranked 199 out of 486 Indiana schools (59th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 212 of 374 (43rd percentile, 2 stars), so the school is currently outperforming its district average. The trend is upward: from 250/491 (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 219/480 (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 and 199/486 (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — its strongest rank since at least 2016–2017.

Compared with nearby schools, Wood stands out for attendance and engagement. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 11.7% is far below the state (16.7%) and district (14.2%), and well below North Junior High School (21.6%), Princeton Community Middle (24.8%), and Pike Central Middle School (22.6%); only Tecumseh Middle School is slightly lower at 11.1%. Wood also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (59.87%), the smallest enrollment, and the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.2) in the comparison group, with the lowest per-student spending ($9,490, down from $11,757). Its test scores beat Princeton and Pike Central but trail North and Tecumseh, the clear local benchmark at the 85th percentile with 4 stars.

Grade-level results are uneven. Seventh grade is a bright spot: ELA at 54.35% and math at 39.13%, both above state figures (41.7% and 35.9%). Sixth grade math is the weakest area, at 28.57% versus the state's 40.2%, and sixth grade ELA (34.88%) and science (33.33%) also trail state averages. Eighth grade ELA (40%) and math (31.67%) are slightly below state levels. Overall math proficiency (33.11%) remains below the district's 39.10%, and science slipped from 51.11% to 33.33%, likely reflecting a different tested cohort. The main opportunities are 6th grade math, overall math, and stabilizing science.
