Summary:
Zip code 46124 is home to one middle school, Edinburgh Community Middle School, serving grades 6-8. This school is part of the Edinburgh Community School Corp. With an enrollment of 179 students, the school's performance is analyzed against state averages and its own historical data, as there are no other middle schools within this zip code for direct comparison.
Edinburgh Community Middle School consistently shows proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that fall below Indiana state averages across all tested grade levels. This trend is also reflected in the district's performance, suggesting broader challenges within the Edinburgh Community School Corp. Academic performance varies by grade level, with some grades demonstrating higher proficiency than others in specific subjects. A significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is often linked to lower academic achievement. The school serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 72.63% qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
Despite a spending per student of $12,267, which is relatively high, the academic outcomes do not appear to reflect this investment, indicating a potential need to evaluate resource utilization. The school's statewide ranking has remained stable, around 316 out of 489 Indiana middle schools, with a consistent 2-star rating. This suggests a consistent but underperforming position relative to other middle schools in the state. Key areas for improvement include boosting academic proficiency in core subjects, addressing chronic absenteeism, and ensuring that allocated resources effectively translate into improved student outcomes.
