Summary

Nathaniel Scribner Middle School is a public middle school in New Albany, Indiana, serving grades 5–8 with 941 students as part of the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district. The district ranks 102 of 374 in Indiana, and Scribner itself ranked 209 of 486 schools in 2025–2026 — the 57th percentile with 3 stars. That's up from the 40th percentile in 2021–2022, though the most recent year dipped slightly from 59 to 57.

Within its own district, Scribner sits between two peers: Highland Hills Middle School (95th percentile) and Hazelwood Middle School (31st). Scribner's ELA score of 43.4 is 12.0 points above Hazelwood but 21.2 points below Highland Hills; math (30.85) and science (33.33) follow a similar pattern. The school is below the district averages in all core subjects — ELA 51.72, math 50.05, science 45.47 — with math showing the biggest gap at 19.2 percentage points. Math is the clearest weakness, concentrated in grades 5–7 (5th grade math 25.23, 6th 27.92, 7th 30.74), while 8th grade math (39.08) essentially matches the district. Eighth grade is the strongest band: ELA 53.78 and math 39.08, both above state averages.

Chronic absenteeism is 19.2%, above the district's 16.3% and the state's 16.7%, though improved from 21.6% in 2020–2021. It's much closer to Hazelwood's 22.6% than Highland Hills' 7.4%. Scribner spends $11,624 per student — the highest among nearby schools — but several lower-spending schools such as Silver Creek Middle School and Corydon Intermediate School post higher proficiency, and 53.99% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
