Summary

North Posey Junior High School is a small, high-performing junior high in Poseyville, Indiana, serving 234 students in grades 7–8 as part of MSD North Posey County Schools. Its district ranks 18th of 374 Indiana districts, while the school ranks 70th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026 (86th percentile, 4 stars), placing it in roughly the top 14% statewide—a step down from 25th of 480 the year before. It is the smallest school among its nearby comparison group, with 33.76% free/reduced lunch, 10.0% chronic absenteeism, $11,390 per-pupil spending, and a 12.4 student–teacher ratio.

North Posey Junior High School’s standout strength is English/language arts. At 63.9% proficiency across all grades, it is well above nearby Perry Heights Middle School at 51.84% and Mount Vernon Junior High School at 50.44%, and far above Washington Middle School at 19.02%. Grade-level ELA is also strong: 64.55% in 7th grade and 63.36% in 8th grade, compared with state rates of 41.7% and 44%. Attendance is another bright spot: 10.0% chronic absenteeism is lower than every nearby school in the comparison group, which ranges from 12.4% to 24.9%, and below the state’s 16.7%. The school achieves these results with the second-lowest per-pupil spending and second-lowest student–teacher ratio in the nearby group.

Math is the clear area to watch, especially in 8th grade. All-grade math proficiency is 41.08%, trailing Mount Vernon Junior High School at 50.98% and Perry Heights Middle School at 46.64%. Seventh-grade math is strong at 52.73% versus the state’s 35.9%, but 8th-grade math is only 31.3%, slightly below the state’s 34.2% and behind several nearby schools. The 2025–2026 rank dip appears math-driven: ELA held steady (63.23% to 63.9%), while math fell from 52.02% to 41.08%. If North Posey Junior High School can raise 8th-grade math while preserving its excellent ELA and attendance, it could return to the 5-star, top-5% range it reached in 2024–2025.
