Summary

Union County Middle School is a public middle school in Liberty, Indiana, serving 267 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Union County/Clg Corner Joint School District, which is ranked 139 out of 380 districts in the state.

While the school has seen a decline in academic performance, with ILEARN test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science consistently lower than state and district averages, it has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.5% in 2020-2021 to 17.8% in 2023-2024. The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 48.01% to 53.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. However, the school's spending per student has increased, and the student-teacher ratio has improved, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Franklin County Middle School, Union County Middle School generally performs worse academically. The school's statewide ranking has also declined, from 124 out of 472 Indiana middle schools in 2016-2017 to 265 out of 480 in 2024-2025. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional support and resources to help students overcome economic challenges may be crucial for the school to improve student outcomes and better serve its community.
