Summary

Shenandoah Middle School is a public school in Middletown, Indiana — a small town in the Shenandoah School Corporation east of Anderson — serving grades 6 through 8 to 295 students. It is a top-quartile Indiana middle school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 134th of 486 middle schools (72nd percentile) in 2025-2026, even though its district is rated 2 stars and ranks 241st of 374 (36th percentile). Rank history shows steady recovery from a pandemic-era dip: from the 56th percentile in 2020-2021 to a 72nd–76th percentile range in the last four reported years (115th of 480 in 2024-2025).

Science and 6th grade Math are the standout strengths. Science proficiency was 51.06%, ahead of Lapel Middle School, Knightstown Intermediate School, Eastern Hancock Middle School, Yorktown Middle School and New Castle Middle School, with only Maxwell Intermediate School higher at 58.17%. Sixth grade Math (52.13%) is the best among nearby comparable schools and about 12 points above the state's 40.2%, and 6th grade Science is nearly 10 points above the state's 41.2%. Eighth grade ELA (51.92%) beats the state's 44.0% and trails only Yorktown Middle School (55.56%) and Pendleton Heights Middle School (53.01%) locally.

Three things are worth watching. Math slipped from 46.31% to 43.29% in 2025-2026 and now sits below the district's 47.23%; 7th grade ELA (38.0%) is below the state's 41.7%; and chronic absenteeism reached 16.7% in 2024-2025 — up from 10.0% in 2021-2022, matching the state rate but double the district's 7.0% and far above nearby high performers such as Pendleton Heights (1.4%), Yorktown Middle School (7.0%), Maxwell (8.6%), Eastern Hancock (9.2%) and Lapel (9.9%). With a 46.78% free/reduced lunch rate, $10,628 per-pupil spending and a 14.1 student-teacher ratio, Shenandoah produces competitive results with moderate resources and an enrollment smaller than most nearby middle schools.
