Summary

Eastern Hancock Middle School is a small middle school serving grades 6–8 with 299 students in Charlottesville, IN, part of the Eastern Hancock County Com School Corp, and ranked 217 of 486—55th percentile with 3 stars—in 2025–26.

The clearest academic strength is math: the school beats Indiana in every middle grade, including 8th grade 41.58% vs 34.2%, and its all-grade math proficiency is 39.93%. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 9.2% in 2024–25, down from 22.4% in 2022–23 and better than the district (10.3%) and state (16.7%). By comparison, Pendleton Heights Middle School (80th percentile), Shenandoah Middle School (72nd), and Mt Vernon Middle School (70th) rank higher overall, while Knightstown Intermediate School (55th) and Benjamin Rush Middle School (53rd) are similar and Greenfield Central Junior High School (43rd) and New Castle Middle School (30th) are lower. The weak spot is English language arts: all-grade ELA is 31.45%, below every nearby school except New Castle Middle School, and 6th-grade ELA is 25% vs the state’s 41.3%. Science is 38.64%, slightly below the state’s 41.2%.

The school’s long-term trend is a decline from earlier highs: it was in the 85th–87th percentile with 4 stars in 2016–17 through 2018–19, last earned 4 stars in 2021–22, and now sits at 3 stars and 55th percentile. The district ranks higher—128 of 374, or 66th percentile—so the middle school may be a relative weak link. About 36.12% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, lower than several nearby schools, and per-student spending was $9,866 in 2023–24 with a student-teacher ratio of 15.8 in 2024–25. Compared with similar-poverty Pendleton Heights Middle School and Mt Vernon Middle School, Eastern Hancock Middle School posts lower ELA and math proficiency, but it outperforms higher-poverty, higher-spending New Castle Middle School and Benjamin Rush Middle School in math. Overall, attendance and math are strengths; literacy—especially in 6th grade—is the biggest opportunity, along with reversing the rank slide.
