Summary

Eastern Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Greentown, Indiana, serving 379 students as part of the Eastern Howard School Corporation. In 2025–26 it ranked 169th of 486 Indiana middle schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), an upper-middle spot among nearby schools. It trails nearby standouts Oak Hill Junior High School (79th percentile, 4 stars), Northwestern Middle School (75th, 4 stars), and Western Middle School (74th, 4 stars), but outranks Tipton Middle School (53rd), Central Middle School (45th), Maconaquah Middle School (32nd), Maple Crest Middle School (28th), Taylor Middle School (24th), and Bon Air Middle School (1st percentile). Rank has cooled from a 2023–24 peak of 72nd percentile, though it stays above its 2017–18 level of 58th percentile.

On 2025–26 ILEARN, all-grade proficiency was 41.32% in English Language Arts, 40.79% in math, and 42.24% in science. Eastern beats its district in ELA (38.59%) but trails it in math (45.49%) and science (47.93%). Grade by grade, the clearest weakness is 8th-grade math, where 29.13% were proficient against the state's 34.2%, and 6th-grade ELA is another soft spot at 34.19% versus the state's 41.3%. Strengths include 8th-grade ELA at 48.82% (state: 44%) and 6th- and 7th-grade math at 47.86% and 45.59%, both above the state's 40.2% and 35.9%.

Chronic absenteeism was 11.6% in 2024–25, down from 17.0% the year before and below the state's 16.7%; only Swayzee Elementary School (5.9%), Oak Hill (8.8%), and Western (10.7%) were lower nearby. Eastern spends $7,540 per student—the lowest among nearby schools—and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 17.7, yet it outperforms several higher-spending schools. About 41.95% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch. One caveat: nearby schools serve different grade spans—Oak Hill is grades 7–8, Swayzee is grades 5–6, and Taylor is grades 5–8—so some comparisons aren't perfectly apples-to-apples.
