Summary

Highland Hills Middle School is a large grades 5–8 school in Georgetown, Indiana, serving 1,676 students as part of the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 26th out of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 95th percentile — and earned 5 stars. That is not a one-year spike: the school has earned 5 stars every year from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, with percentile ranks between 90 and 95.

Compared with nearby schools, Highland Hills Middle School sits in a different tier. Same-district peers Hazelwood Middle School (2 stars, 31st percentile) and Nathaniel Scribner Middle School (3 stars, 57th percentile) score far lower, and the strongest nearby schools — Silver Creek Middle School at the 81st percentile and Corydon Central Junior High School at the 79th — still trail. In 2025–2026, Highland Hills posted 64.56% proficiency in ELA, 58.76% in math, and 61.07% in science, leading every nearby school in each subject. Attendance is another major strength: 7.4% chronic absenteeism, less than half the district's 16.3% and the state's 16.7%. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate among nearby schools at 19.09%, and it achieves these results with mid-range spending ($10,091 per student) and the group's highest student-teacher ratio (18.1).

A few things for parents to watch. Math proficiency is strong in 5th and 6th grades (63.59% and 65.94%) but drops to 56.15% in 7th and 49.39% in 8th — the school's lowest reported grade-level score, though still above district (39.13%) and state (34.2%). Academics have generally improved over time: all-grade ELA rose from 54.98% in 2022–2023 to 64.56% in 2025–2026, and 5th-grade social studies jumped from 51.12% to 75.06%.

Thursday, March 4, 2021

this school is hands down the best middle school in Southern Indiana and it's far superior to ANYTHING JCPS has to offer. If you care about your child you'll send them there. I don't need to say much, just look at their test scores. What is not mentioned is that their arts programs are the best in the state (they win every year). Love this school Close Quote
