Summary

Union County Middle School is a public middle school in Liberty, Indiana, serving about 287 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District. The district as a whole ranks 113th of 374 in Indiana (70th percentile, 4 stars), while the middle school ranks 267th of 486 (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26 — a notable mismatch, and the school has held a 2-star rating for three straight years after reaching 4 stars as recently as 2021–22.

Academically, math is the clearest concern. All-grade math proficiency is 24.91%, below the district's 40.14% and below Centerville-Abington Junior High School (38.43%) and Connersville Middle School (32.94%), though ahead of Test Intermediate School (22.59%), Franklin County Middle School (22.34%), and Dennis Middle School (14.56%). Math also slips as students move up: 32% in 6th grade, 23.16% in 7th, and 18.6% in 8th, versus state rates of 40.2%, 35.9%, and 34.2%. ELA is middling at 37.01% — above Franklin County, Test Intermediate, and Dennis, but well behind Centerville and Connersville. Science, at 38.78%, leads locally among schools with comparable data, though it sits slightly below the state's 41.2%. Note that nearby schools serve somewhat different grade spans, so comparisons aren't perfectly apples-to-apples.

The standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was just 3.3% in 2024–25, far below Indiana's 16.7% and every nearby school — Centerville 7.1%, Franklin County 15.5%, Connersville 24.1%, Test Intermediate 25.5%, Dennis 30.6%. That stands out given that 54.36% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch; per-student spending is $10,513 with a 14.3 student/teacher ratio. Centerville-Abington Junior High spends less ($9,712) with larger classes (17.7) yet posts much higher scores, suggesting instruction and school-level strategy matter. Connersville's jump from 35th to 67th percentile in one year shows rapid gains are possible. The clearest priority is middle-school math intervention, especially in grades 7–8, while preserving the strong attendance culture.
