Summary

Northeastern Middle School is a public middle school located in Fountain City, Indiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 311 students. The school is part of the Northeastern Wayne Schools district, which is ranked 162 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northeastern Middle School has consistently performed better than the state average in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 40.86% in ELA, 32.89% in Math, and 54.64% in Science, compared to the state averages of 40.5%, 39.7%, and 42.4%, respectively. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.4% in 2021-2022 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.93% in 2021-2022 to 48.87% in 2023-2024, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Northeastern Middle School generally outperforms the nearby Lee L Driver Middle School and the two middle schools in the Richmond Community Schools district (Test Intermediate School and Dennis Middle School) in terms of test scores and school rankings. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Centerville-Abington Junior High School, which is located just 9.64 miles away. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, dropping from 101 out of 490 Indiana middle schools in 2021-2022 to 174 out of 480 in 2024-2025, despite relatively strong test scores, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges that are not fully captured by the available data.
