Summary

Greencastle Middle School is a 6–8 middle school in Greencastle, Indiana, serving 383 students as part of Greencastle Community School Corp. It ranks 183rd of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–26 — the 62nd percentile with 3 stars — placing it slightly below its district, which sits at the 70th percentile with 4 stars. The trend is encouraging: the school was at the 45th percentile in 2021–22, rose to 56th in 2023–24, and reached 62nd in both 2024–25 and 2025–26.

Compared with seven nearby middle schools, Greencastle sits in the middle — fifth of eight by rank percentile. Its all-grades ELA score of 42.23% is close to the nearby average and ahead of South Putnam Middle School, North Putnam Middle School, Cloverdale Middle School, and Monrovia, while its math and science results rank sixth of eight. Danville Middle School and Cascade Middle School are the aspirational neighbors, both at the 84th percentile with 4 stars and all three subjects above 49%. North Clay Middle School is strong in ELA and science but posts math of 36.30%, nearly identical to Greencastle's 36.07%.

Math is the clear priority. All-grades math proficiency is 36.07%, below the district's 40.21% and stagnant across recent years. The weakest point is 7th grade, where math is only 19.47% proficient versus the state's 35.9% — the lowest among nearby schools. Notably, 6th grade math (48.00%) and 8th grade math (39.06%) both exceed state averages, so the issue is concentrated in one cohort rather than schoolwide. ELA is a relative strength at 42.23%, above the district's 37.38%, with 6th and 8th grade ELA above state averages. Chronic absenteeism of 13.4% beats the district's 17.9% and the state's 16.7%, though several neighbors are lower. The school also has the lowest student–teacher ratio (12.1) in the comparison group and spending of $10,552 per student.
