Manchester Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Manchester Intermediate School in Laketon, Indiana, serves 285 students in grades 4–6 as part of Manchester Community Schools. Because it covers grades 4–6 while most nearby middle schools serve grades 6–8 or 7–8, grade 6 is the fairest comparison point with neighboring schools.

Attendance is the school's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism was 3.4% in 2024–25 — far below Indiana's 16.7% and every nearby school, including Tippecanoe Valley Middle School at 7.8%, Lakeview Middle School and Edgewood Middle School at 12.6%, and Crestview Middle School and Riverview School at roughly 17.5%. It has improved every year since 2021–22. Academically, Manchester leads nearby schools in grade 6 math (58.1%), ELA (49.52%), and science (56.19%), each well above state averages. Across all grades, it posts the highest math (49.83%) and science (49.09%) proficiency among the nearby schools listed, with a free/reduced-lunch rate near 48% that is similar to several of them.

English Language Arts is more mixed: grades 5 and 6 are above state, but grade 4 ELA is 30.43% versus the state's 42.2%. All-grade ELA also dipped from 54.39% in 2024–25 to 42.24% in 2025–26, worth watching. Fifth-grade social studies, meanwhile, has climbed every year, reaching 55.42% versus the state's 47.2%. Notably, Manchester spends less per student ($8,969) and has a larger student-teacher ratio (17.4) than every nearby school, yet still produces strong math and science results — a sign of efficient use of resources, not proof of cause.
