Summary

West Vigo Middle School is a 6th–8th grade school in West Terre Haute, Indiana, serving about 390 students as part of the Vigo County School Corp, a district ranked 270th of 374 Indiana districts. West Vigo currently holds a 1-star rating and ranked 380th of 486 Indiana middle schools (22nd percentile) in 2025–2026 — a small step up from 2024–2025, when it placed 402nd of 480 (16th percentile), but still well below its 2-star years from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019.

Academically, 2025–2026 ILEARN proficiency stands at 23.28% in English language arts, 16.71% in math, and 24.56% in science — all below district averages. Among nearby schools, West Vigo outperforms only Sarah Scott Middle School and trails Otter Creek Middle School slightly, while Woodrow Wilson Middle School, Honey Creek Middle School, North Clay Middle School, and South Vermillion Middle School score considerably higher. The South Vermillion comparison stands out: it serves a nearly identical share of low-income students (59.11% vs. 59.23%) yet posts much higher proficiency in every subject while spending less per student. Eighth grade is the clearest academic concern, with math proficiency at just 8.66% and ELA at 18.11%. Recent gains from 2024–2025 are real but partial — scores remain below 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 levels in most subjects.

Attendance is the brightest trend: chronic absenteeism fell from 27.8% in 2022–2023 to 25.2% and then 20.4% in 2024–2025 — better than the district's 27.4%, though still above the state's 16.7%. West Vigo also spends relatively generously ($12,584 per student) and has a low student-teacher ratio (11.7). The takeaway for families: this is a school with meaningful challenges in achievement and a promising recent direction in attendance, where extra resources have not yet shown up in test results.
