Summary:
The 46360 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Barker Middle School and Martin T Krueger Middle School, both part of the Michigan City Area Schools district. While the schools share similarities in their student populations and funding, there are notable differences in their academic performance and attendance rates.
Barker Middle School stands out with higher overall ILEARN proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to Martin T Krueger Middle School. However, Martin T Krueger Middle School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, which could be an area of concern. Both schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the data suggests that while the middle schools in the 46360 zip code area face challenges common to schools serving economically disadvantaged communities, Barker Middle School appears to be the stronger performer academically. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Martin T Krueger Middle School is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted support to improve student outcomes.
