Summary:
ZIP code 46181 has exactly one middle school, Indian Creek Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 to 503 students in Trafalgar and belongs to the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United district. Because it is the only middle school in the area, its profile is the area’s profile. It is currently a 4-star school, ranking 141 of 486 schools (71st percentile) in 2025–2026 and 105 of 480 (78th percentile) in 2024–2025 — up from 3 stars and the 58th percentile in 2023–2024. The district overall ranks 115 of 374 (69th percentile, 3 stars).
Math is the school’s clearest strength: grade 6 scored 53.53% proficient (13.33 points above the state), grade 7 scored 50.96% (15.06 points above), and grade 8 scored 43.50% (9.30 points above). English language arts is mixed — grades 6 and 7 are above the state at 45.88% and 43.31%, while grade 8 is below at 41.24% versus the state’s 44.0%. All-grades ELA is 43.45%, matching the district and down 0.70 points from the prior year. Science is the main concern: reported proficiency is 34.12%, compared with the state’s 41.2%, and down about 10 percentage points from 44.1%. The district also declined in science, but the school’s drop was larger.
Chronic absenteeism is notably low at 6.3%, well below the district’s 7.7% and the state’s 16.7% — a strong engagement signal. About 30.62% of students receive free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $10,182, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.1; no state benchmarks for spending or ratio are provided, so those cannot be judged as high or low here. In short, this is a 4-star, above-state math performer with excellent attendance, steady ELA results, and a science decline worth watching.
