Summary:

Zip code 47165 is home to one middle school, East Washington Middle School, serving grades 5-8. This public school is part of the East Washington School Corp and has an enrollment of 434 students. The school is ranked 233rd out of 489 middle schools in Indiana, earning a 3-star rating, and its district is ranked 147th out of 380 in the state, also with a 3-star rating.

East Washington Middle School demonstrates consistent performance, maintaining a 3-star rating over the past three academic years with its statewide rank remaining relatively stable. However, there are mixed trends in test scores. While English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency saw some increases in individual grades, there was a notable decline in 8th-grade ELA proficiency from 44.14% to 28.07% between the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 academic years. Math proficiency also shows varied results, with some grades improving and others declining, though overall "All Grades" Math proficiency saw a slight increase. The school's strongest subject area appears to be 5th-grade Social Studies, while 6th-grade Science shows the lowest proficiency.

A significant concern for East Washington Middle School is its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is considerably high and could impact academic outcomes. The school serves a substantial portion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 38.71%. Despite a favorable student-teacher ratio of 17.7 and spending per student of $9,515, these resources do not appear to translate into significantly above-average academic results compared to the state. The school's performance in most subjects aligns with or slightly trails the average for the East Washington School Corp, indicating that its performance is largely representative of the district's overall standing.
