Summary

Knox Community Middle School is a grades 5–8 school serving 474 students in Knox, Indiana, a small community in the northwest part of the state, and it is part of the Knox Community School Corp. For 2025–26, the school ranks 306th of 486 Indiana middle schools (37th percentile, 2 stars), up from 1-star status and low-20s percentile rankings in 2020–21 through 2022–23. That is a modest but real improvement, though the school still sits below the state midpoint.

Attendance is the clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism was just 6.3% in 2024–25, far below the state's 16.7% and lower than every nearby school compared here — Riverside Intermediate (10.5%), Winamac Community Middle School (8.0%), Lincoln Junior High School (11.5%), and Harold C Urey Middle School (14.2%). The student–teacher ratio is 14.2. Spending per student reached $14,125 in 2023–24, a sharp jump from $9,484 the year before and the highest among these nearby schools, even though Winamac ($13,081) generally posts higher proficiency. About 61.84% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2023–24.

Academically, results are mixed and generally trail nearby schools. On 2025–26 ILEARN, all-grades proficiency was 30.82% in ELA, 31.63% in math, 24.03% in science, and 37.9% in 5th-grade social studies. Winamac scored 51.35% in ELA, and Harold C Urey scored 47.55%. Seventh grade is the biggest concern: ELA 20.97% and math 21.77%, well below the state. Eighth-grade math, at 36.28%, tops the state's 34.2% and beats Lincoln and Harold C Urey. Notably, Biology End-of-Course proficiency was 80%, compared with 43.61% for the district — a striking outlier worth asking the school about.
