Eastern Middle School has demonstrated consistent performance, ranking between 154th and 227th among Indiana middle schools over the past three academic years, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school serves 382 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.2 and spends $7,540 per student.

Academically, Eastern Middle School shows varied proficiency levels across subjects and grades. In English Language Arts, 7th graders in the 2024-2025 year achieved the highest proficiency at 49.19%, while 6th graders saw a decline from the previous year. Math proficiency is strong in 6th and 7th grades, with 6th graders excelling in 2023-2024 at 52.46%, surpassing the state average. However, 8th-grade math proficiency has consistently fallen below the state average in both reported years. Science proficiency for 6th graders in 2024-2025 is above the state average. These results suggest areas of strength and opportunities for targeted improvement, particularly in 8th-grade math and addressing chronic absenteeism.
