Summary:
Zip code 46181 is home to one middle school, Indian Creek Middle School, serving grades 6-8. This public school is part of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United district.
Indian Creek Middle School has an enrollment of 479 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, indicating smaller class sizes. The school's spending per student is $10,182, which is a healthy investment in student resources. Academically, the school shows promising trends for the 2024-2025 school year, with projected overall proficiency rates of 44.15% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 50% in Math. These figures are generally above the state averages and, in ELA and Science, also exceed the district average. Notably, 6th-grade performance in both ELA and Math is particularly strong, matching or exceeding district and state averages. However, there's a slight dip in proficiency in higher grades, especially in Math, which warrants further attention.
A significant area of concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is generally considered high and can impact academic outcomes. The school serves a diverse student population, with 29.23% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the 2023-2024 test scores showed a decline compared to the projected 2024-2025 data, the significant projected improvements suggest potential positive changes. The school's statewide ranking of 148 out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 places it in the top third of middle schools in the state.
