Summary

Indian Creek Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Trafalgar, Indiana, serving 503 students as part of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 141st of 486 Indiana middle schools (71st percentile, 4 stars), slightly above its district's 69th-percentile standing and a rebound from a 2023–2024 dip (58th percentile, 3 stars), though still below its 2015–2018 range of 85th–89th percentile. Among nearby schools it trails Center Grove Middle School Central (97th percentile, 5 stars) and Center Grove Middle School North (95th percentile, 5 stars), and also sits below Clark Pleasant Middle School and Greenwood Middle School, but outranks Brown County Middle School, Franklin Community Middle School, John R. Wooden Middle School, and Edinburgh Community Middle School.

Math is the clear strength, with all-grade proficiency of 49.21% — above the state in every tested grade (6th 53.53% vs. 40.2%, 7th 50.96% vs. 35.9%, 8th 43.5% vs. 34.2%) and behind only the two Center Grove schools locally. ELA is more mixed at 43.45%: above the state in grades 6 and 7, but below it in grade 8 (41.24% vs. 44.0%). Science is the biggest concern at 34.12%, below the state's 6th-grade benchmark of 41.2% and below every nearby school with reported science except Edinburgh Community Middle School, and down from 44.1% the prior year.

Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism of 6.3% in 2024–2025 is less than half the state's 16.7% and the lowest among nearby schools, improving from 14.6% in 2022–2023. Free/reduced lunch sits at 30.62%, second-lowest nearby after Center Grove Middle School Central, and the 13.1 student-teacher ratio is third-lowest in the group. Per-pupil spending was $10,182 in 2023–2024, moderate for the area. Overall, Indian Creek lands in the upper-middle of its local peer group, with math and attendance as real advantages and 8th-grade ELA and science as areas to watch.
