Summary

Maple Crest Middle School is a public middle school in Kokomo, Indiana, serving about 435 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Kokomo School Corporation, a district ranked 278th out of 374 in Indiana. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 351st out of 486 Indiana middle schools (28th percentile, 1 star), an improvement from the 17th percentile in each of the two prior years. On the 2025–2026 ILEARN, 23.19% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 21.5% in Math, and 30.15% in Science—all below state averages.

Chronic absenteeism was 26.0% in 2024–2025, down sharply from 40.8% in 2021–2022. That is below the district average of 29.1% but still well above the state average of 16.7%. About 65.06% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the third-highest rate among 11 nearby middle schools. Academically, only Bon Air Middle School and Taylor Middle School rank below Maple Crest among nearby schools. Within the same district, Central Middle School posts higher ELA (34.61% vs. 23.19%) and Math (31.24% vs. 21.5%) proficiency with similar spending and class size. Meanwhile, Western Middle School, Northwestern Middle School, and Eastern Middle School achieve much higher proficiency while spending less per student than Maple Crest’s $12,555.

The encouraging news is real progress: Math rose from 13.72% to 21.5% and Science from 8.33% to 30.15% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and the school’s science scores now exceed the district average. Sixth grade is the strongest cohort, scoring above district averages in all three subjects, while 7th grade is the weakest, with ELA at 15.71% and Math at 19.29%. Overall English Language Arts is the biggest challenge. Parents may want to ask about 7th-grade intervention and attendance supports.
