Summary

Hamilton Heights Middle School is a public middle school located in Arcadia, Indiana, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 721 students. The school is part of the Hamilton Heights School Corporation, which is ranked 53 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hamilton Heights Middle School consistently ranks in the top 15% of Indiana middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 54 and 92 over the past 5 years. The school's ILEARN test scores are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates and a larger population of economically disadvantaged students compared to some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Clay Middle School (Carmel Clay Schools), Fishers Junior High School (Hamilton Southeastern Schools), and Westfield Middle School (Westfield-Washington Schools).

Despite these challenges, Hamilton Heights Middle School outperforms some nearby schools, such as Sheridan Middle School, Lapel Middle School, and Tipton Middle School, which have lower ILEARN scores and statewide rankings. Addressing the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates and providing additional support for economically disadvantaged students could help Hamilton Heights Middle School continue to improve and better serve its student population.
