Summary

Yorktown Middle School is a public school serving grades 6–8 with 687 students in Yorktown, Indiana, part of Yorktown Community Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 124th of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 74th percentile — earning 4 stars, and it has held 4 stars in every year shown except 2017–2018, when it slipped to 3 stars. Its district ranks 59th of 374 Indiana districts.

English/language arts is Yorktown's strongest tested subject: its all-grades ELA proficiency of 49.47% edges out Pendleton Heights Middle School (47.71%) and Selma Middle School (47.29%), and it beats Indiana in every tested middle grade, with 8th-grade ELA at 55.56% against the state's 44%. Math sits at 44.21% — above the state at every grade level, but down from 52.38% a year earlier and behind Selma (57.04%) and just behind Pendleton Heights (45.21%). Science is the clearest soft spot at 36.77%, below Indiana's 6th-grade 41.2% and below Selma, Shenandoah Middle School and Delta Middle School. One striking outlier is Biology End-of-Course performance — 96.55% proficient in 2025–2026 and 100% in 2023–2024 — far above district and state figures, though it likely reflects a specific accelerated cohort.

Attendance is a major strength: 7.0% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025, well below the state's 16.7% and most nearby schools, and down sharply from 22.0% in 2021–2022. Yorktown spends $9,749 per student, the lowest among nearby comparison schools, with 34.93% free/reduced lunch and a 16.8 student-teacher ratio. Neighboring Southside Middle School spends $17,651 per student yet posts 9.05% math proficiency and 46.3% chronic absenteeism — not proof of cause and effect, but a notable efficiency signal. Pendleton Heights Middle School is the closest overall peer, with similar size, spending and poverty levels, stronger math, lower ELA and far lower absenteeism (1.4%), while Yorktown separates itself clearly from the Muncie Community Schools and Anderson Community School Corp middle schools on both proficiency and attendance.
