Summary
Jasper Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Jasper, Indiana, serving 709 students as part of Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools, and it ranks 50th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026—the 90th percentile with 4 stars. That places it in the top 10% statewide and ahead of nearby 6–8 schools: Southridge Middle School is 79th percentile, Loogootee Middle School 77th, Pike Central Middle School 44th, and Shoals Middle School 23rd. It has earned 4 stars in most recent years, with a 5-star year in 2020–2021, and improved from 83rd in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 to 89th–90th recently.
Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism was 4.3% in 2024–2025, down from 8.2% in 2021–2022 and far below Indiana’s 16.7%. Among nearby schools, only Cedar Crest Intermediate School is lower at 1.0%; Southridge Middle School is 6.1%, Loogootee Middle School 9.5%, Pike Central Middle School 22.6%, and Shoals Middle School 31.1%. In 2025–2026 tests, all-grade ELA proficiency was 56.12%, above the district’s 52.98%, and 8th grade ELA was 61.34%, which is 17.34 points above the state’s 44%. Science was 52.16%, above the district’s 50.41% and above Loogootee Middle School, Southridge Middle School, Pike Central Middle School, and Shoals Middle School. The Biology End-of-Course result was 100%, far above the district’s 40.76%; as a middle school End-of-Course exam, it may reflect a small or specialized cohort, and test-taker counts were not available.
Math is the area to examine most closely. All-grade math was 53.57%, below the district’s 56.72% and below Southridge Middle School’s 58.28%. Its math scores also decline by grade: 6th grade 61.57%, 7th grade 51.6%, and 8th grade 47.06%. The 8th grade math score is still above the state’s 34.2%, but Southridge Middle School’s is 67.67%, a useful local benchmark. Cedar Crest Intermediate School reports higher rates but serves grades 5–6, so the comparison is not apples-to-apples. Overall, Jasper Middle School is a strong, stable, top-decile school with excellent attendance, strong ELA, solid science, and a standout Biology result; the next step is to sustain those gains while investigating the 6th-to-8th grade math trajectory.
