Summary

Selma Middle School is a small public school serving 277 students in grades 6-8 in Selma, Indiana, part of the Liberty-Perry Community School Corp, located in a mostly rural area near Muncie and Anderson.

Academically, Selma Middle School is a consistently strong performer: it ranks in the 84th percentile among Indiana middle schools in 2025-26, earned 4 stars, and its district ranks 68th of 374 districts. Math is the school's clearest strength, with 57.04% of students proficient -- the highest among nearby middle schools and about 13 points above Yorktown Middle School, and more than double Southside Middle School, Highland Middle School, and New Castle Middle School. Its math scores are above state benchmarks in every middle grade. English language arts is solid at 47.29% proficient, second only to Yorktown Middle School nearby, but 8th grade ELA is a soft spot at 40.48%, below the state's 44%. Science is mid-pack at 47.47%, above the state's 6th-grade science mark but behind Shenandoah Middle School and Delta Middle School and below the district's all-grades science figure.

Non-academically, Selma has a moderate-to-high poverty profile: 58.84% of students receive free or reduced lunch, spending is $11,055 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.8. Chronic absenteeism is 19.4%, above the district's 17.6% and the state's 16.7%, though far below Muncie and Anderson schools such as Northside Middle School at 40.9%, Southside Middle School at 46.3%, and Highland Middle School at 35.4%. Attendance is the biggest non-academic concern. One trend to watch: all-grades ELA proficiency has slipped from 57.14% in 2022-23 to 47.29% in 2025-26, while math has stayed steady around 57-58%. Overall, Selma Middle School is a high-performing small middle school whose math results are its defining academic feature, with attendance, 8th-grade ELA, and science relative to top nearby schools as areas to monitor.
