Summary

Indian Creek Middle School is a public middle school located in Trafalgar, Indiana, serving 479 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United School District, which is ranked 99 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Indian Creek Middle School has shown consistent performance on ILEARN tests, with around 40-50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Compared to the district average, the school performs slightly better in English Language Arts and Science, but slightly worse in Math. However, the school's performance has been relatively stable over the past few years, with a slight dip in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 15.2 is lower than the state average, and its spending per student of $10,182 is slightly higher than the state average.

One area of concern is the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from around 8% in 2021-2022 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the state average for middle schools. While Indian Creek Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the district average, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Center Grove Middle School North and Greenwood Middle School, which have significantly higher ILEARN proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
