Summary

Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center is a public middle school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving roughly 1,143 students in grades 7–8 as part of MSD Wayne Township, making it one of the larger middle schools in the area. It ranks 375th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026 (23rd percentile) with 1 star, while its district ranks 292nd of 374 districts statewide.

On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, English language arts was the school's relative strength: 26.45% of students were proficient, above the district's 22.99% and above nearby Lynhurst 7th & 8th Grade Center, Decatur Middle School, Guion Creek Middle School, Lincoln Middle School, and Northwest Middle School - an IB World School. Math was weaker at 14.77% proficient, below the district's 19.74% and below Lynhurst and Decatur, though above Guion Creek, Lincoln, and Northwest. Both subjects trail nearby suburban schools by wide margins — Brownsburg West Middle School (69.22% ELA, 70.19% math) and Avon Middle School North (60.37% and 60.09%), for example. One clear bright spot: Biology End-of-Course proficiency was 57.76%, far above the district's 25.2%.

About 66.49% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, down from 69.6% two years earlier, and chronic absenteeism fell to 20.3% — better than the district's 22.1% but above Indiana's 16.7%. Chapel Hill's student-teacher ratio of 17.6 is the highest among nearby schools. Per-student spending was $12,651 in 2023–2024, more than Avon Community School Corp and MSD Decatur Township spend and far more than Brownsburg Community School Corp, yet outcomes remain lower, suggesting spending alone does not explain results. Overall, this is a school with real challenges and some signs of gradual improvement.
