Summary:
There is one middle school serving grades 7-8 in zip code 46214, which is
Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center, part of the
MSD Wayne Township district.
Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center serves 1,176 students in grades 7-8. The school has consistently received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, ranking in the bottom quartile of Indiana middle schools. This indicates that the school's overall performance is lower than most middle schools across the state.
In core academic subjects like English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center's proficiency rates are generally below both the district and state averages. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, 7th-grade ELA proficiency was 19.71%, which is lower than the district average of 20.32% and significantly below the state average of 41.8%. Math proficiency rates are also consistently lower than state averages. However, the school shows exceptional performance in Biology, with a proficiency rate of 67.8% in 2023-2024, far exceeding both district and state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% and a free/reduced lunch rate of 67.94%, suggesting a significant portion of the student body comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The school spends $12,651 per student, which is a relatively high amount, yet academic outcomes in core subjects remain a challenge. The student-teacher ratio is 17.9, which is within a typical range. The standout performance in Biology warrants further investigation to understand the factors contributing to this success, which could potentially be replicated in other subject areas to improve overall academic achievement.
