Summary:
ZIP code 46041 contains a single middle school serving grades 6–8: Frankfort Middle School, part of Community Schools of Frankfort, with 654 students. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there are no in-ZIP peer comparisons; the useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own prior years. Context for the school includes a free/reduced lunch rate of 53.06%, per-student spending of $9,636, and a student-teacher ratio of 16.3.
The clearest bright spot is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is reported at 0.0%, far below the district's 10.8% and the state's 16.7%. Academically, English language arts is improving: school-wide proficiency rose from 33.71% to 37.87%, a gain of 4.16 percentage points, and 7th grade ELA sits at 41.15%, just 0.55 points under the state's 41.7%. The school's statewide rank has also climbed each year, from 296th of 491 in 2023–2024 to 274th of 486 in 2025–2026, with its percentile moving from 40 to 44. It still holds 2 stars and remains below the median of ranked schools.
Math is the biggest concern. School-wide math proficiency is 24.96%, below the district's 33.25% and down from 26.82% the prior year. Grade-level gaps to the state are substantial: 6th grade math at 26.21% versus 40.2%, 7th grade at 22.01% versus 35.9%, and 8th grade at 26.8% versus 34.2%. Science is close to the district at 32.2% versus 32.65%, but 6th grade science trails the state by 9.0 points. Eighth grade ELA, at 35.9% versus the state's 44%, is 8.1 points below. Overall: strong attendance and rising ELA and rank, with persistent math weakness.
