Summary

East Washington Middle School is a public middle school located in Pekin, Indiana, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 434 students. The school is part of the East Washington School Corporation, which is ranked 147 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Washington Middle School faces some significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 22.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools like Charlestown Middle School and Scottsburg Middle School. Additionally, the school's test scores in ILEARN/English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates of 32% in ELA, 39.5% in Math, and 23.91% in Science, compared to the East Washington School Corporation averages of 38.93%, 45.85%, and 38.1%, respectively.

East Washington Middle School also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.71% to 52.29% over the past few years, which is higher than some of the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's spending per student has been lower than some of the nearby schools, ranging from $8,596 to $10,343 over the past few years. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 163 out of 472 Indiana middle schools in 2016-2017 to 274 out of 480 in 2024-2025. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, improving test scores, and exploring ways to increase funding and resources could be important steps in helping the school improve and better serve its students.
