Summary

Connersville Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Connersville, Indiana, serving 434 students in the Fayette County School Corporation, a community where about 59% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school ranks 160th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 67th percentile, with 3 stars — placing it well above its own district, which ranks 191st of 374 (49th percentile, 2 stars).

The recent improvement is the headline. Connersville Middle rose from 311th of 480 (35th percentile) in 2024–2025 to 160th of 486, a 151-position gain. English Language Arts proficiency climbed from 32.2% to 48.21%, and Math from 22.44% to 32.94%. ELA is now a clear strength: 48.21% is above the district's 38.34% and second only to Centerville-Abington Junior High School (49.22%) among nearby schools, and far ahead of Dennis Middle School (19.27%) and Test Intermediate School (26.43%). Math is more uneven: the all-grade rate of 32.94% trails the district's 43.3%, and 8th-grade Math (27.94%) falls below the state's 34.2%.

The biggest concern is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 24.1%, above Indiana's 16.7% and much higher than nearby Benjamin Rush Middle School (7.0%) and Union County Middle School (3.3%). Connersville also spends $13,332 per student — well above Centerville-Abington ($9,712) — yet Centerville-Abington posts stronger results, suggesting attendance and instruction matter as much as funding. Against Dennis Middle, a direct grades 7–8 peer, Connersville has higher ELA and Math and lower absenteeism. Bottom line: strong momentum, especially in ELA, with attendance and 8th-grade Math as the areas to watch.
