Summary

Corydon Central Junior High School is a grades 7–8 school in Corydon, Indiana, serving 358 students as part of South Harrison Com Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 100th of 486 Indiana middle schools (79th percentile, 4 stars), and it has held 4 stars in most years, peaking at 5 stars / 90th percentile in 2020–21.

Current data shows real strengths alongside one clear challenge. In 2025–26, 52.19% of students were proficient in ELA and 39.56% in math. Chronic absenteeism was 25.1% in 2024–25, about 52.51% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending was $11,310 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.6 — lower, and therefore more favorable, than Corydon Intermediate School (18.0), Nathaniel Scribner Middle School (15.7), North Harrison Middle School (16.0), and Highland Hills Middle School (18.1).

Corydon Central’s 4-star rating places it ahead of Crawford County Middle School (77th percentile), Nathaniel Scribner (57), North Harrison (49), and Hazelwood Middle School (31); only Highland Hills is clearly higher at 95th percentile / 5 stars. In ELA, Corydon Central beats every nearby school except Highland Hills and its own feeder, Corydon Intermediate — and its grade-level math results (7th grade 40.91%, 8th grade 37.95%) are above both district and state averages. The biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism: 25.1%, the highest in the comparison group, above the district (18.9%) and state (16.7%) rates, and up from 18.9% the year before. The school’s ELA–math gap is 12.6 points, and Crawford County Middle shows that a higher-poverty school can post strong math results. Overall, this is a stable, solid 4-star school whose main opportunities are attendance and math.
