Summary:
ZIP code 47043 has one middle school, Switzerland County Middle School, located in Vevay, Indiana and serving grades 7–8 with 215 students in Switzerland County School Corp.
Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, it is the only local middle school option, so parents should focus on its own performance trends. The clearest bright spot is 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency at 50%, which equals the district and is above the state’s 41.7%. All-grades ELA is 42.65%, higher than the district’s 33.33%. Math, however, is below both district and state at both grade levels and in all grades. All-grades math is 22.55%, below the district’s 26.14%. Seventh-grade math is 23.53%, below the state’s 35.9%, and 8th-grade math is 21.57%, below the state’s 34.2%. Eighth-grade ELA is 35.29%, below the state’s 44%, and much lower than the school’s 7th-grade ELA result. Comparing all-grades ILEARN results year over year, ELA rose from 40.67% in 2024–2025 to 42.65% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 27.75% to 22.55%, a 5.20-point decline.
Attendance and rankings add important context. Chronic absenteeism is 19.4%, above both the district’s 16.5% and the state’s 16.7%, meaning about 1 in 5 students are chronically absent. The school’s state rank percentile has slipped from 61 in 2023–2024 to 55 in 2024–2025 to 49 in 2025–2026; it is currently 250th out of 486 with 2 stars. About 54.88% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $12,115, and the student-teacher ratio is 13:1. Overall, this is a school with a real ELA strength but significant math and attendance challenges.
