Summary:
In zip code 46229, there is one middle school, Stonybrook Intermediate & Middle, serving grades 5-8. This public school is part of the MSD Warren Township district.
Stonybrook Intermediate & Middle is currently showing significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science when compared to both the district and state averages across most grade levels. Math proficiency, in particular, is a notable concern, with only 11.93% of students scoring proficient or better in the 2024-2025 school year, a slight increase from 6.54% the previous year. The school also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with 17.8% of students absent for 10% or more of the school year in 2023-2024. A high percentage of students, 71.69%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student body comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The school's statewide ranking places it in the bottom quartile of Indiana middle schools, suggesting a need for improvement in academic outcomes. Despite spending $12,367 per student, which is within a typical range, this investment does not appear to be translating into higher test scores. While there are some isolated positive trends, such as an improvement in 8th-grade ELA proficiency in the 2023-2024 school year and 8th-grade Math proficiency in 2024-2025 exceeding the district average, the overall academic performance indicates areas that require focused attention and potential intervention.
