Summary
Parkview Middle School is a 6–8 middle school in Jeffersonville, Indiana, serving 656 students as part of Greater Clark County Schools, a district ranked 201 of 374 in Indiana. Parkview is ranked 304 of 486 Indiana schools in 2025–2026 — the 37th percentile, with 2 stars — and it has earned 2 stars every year since 2015–2016, never rising above the 49th percentile. About 65.24% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 27.2%, well above the state's 16.7%. The school spent $10,801 per student in 2023–2024, and its student-teacher ratio was 13.6 in 2024–2025.
Academically, Parkview trails its district in all three tested subjects: English language arts 29.99% (district 37.53%), math 28.47% (38.86%), and science 30.23% (34.36%). Every grade-level subject with published state data is below the state average. The biggest gap is 8th-grade ELA, where 23.22% of students are proficient versus 44% statewide; 6th-grade math (28.4%) and 6th-grade ELA (29.84%) are also far behind. The clearest bright spot is 8th-grade math at 30.81%, the only grade and subject where Parkview beats the district (28.99%), though it still trails the state's 34.2%.
Compared with nearby schools, Parkview is not the lowest performer but it is stagnant. Within its own district, River Valley Middle School (50th percentile, 3 stars) and Charlestown Middle School (82nd percentile, 4 stars) have improved while Parkview has stayed in the bottom half. River Valley Middle School is only 2.95 miles away, has similar poverty (64.53%) and higher spending ($11,291) and absenteeism (30.1%), yet outperforms Parkview in all three subjects. Parkview also spends more than Silver Creek Middle School and Highland Hills Middle School, and has smaller classes than Charlestown Middle School, Silver Creek Middle School, and Highland Hills Middle School — so money and class size alone don't explain the gap. Attendance has plateaued at 27.2% for three years. The most urgent priorities appear to be 8th-grade ELA, 6th-grade math and ELA, science, and getting more students to school regularly.
