Zip code 47166 is home to one middle school, North Harrison Middle School, serving grades 6-8. This public school is part of the North Harrison Com School Corp district.
North Harrison Middle School has demonstrated a positive upward trend in its statewide ranking, improving from 204th in 2020-2021 to 73rd in 2022-2023, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Academically, the school shows strength in Science, with 51.9% of students proficient in the subject for all grades in the 2024-2025 school year, exceeding the Indiana average for 6th grade. Math proficiency is generally at or above the state average, particularly in 6th and 7th grades for 2024-2025. However, English Language Arts (ELA) performance shows some variability. While 8th graders achieved a strong 62.68% proficiency in ELA in the 2023-2024 school year, there was a notable decrease in ELA proficiency for 6th and 7th graders in the 2024-2025 data compared to the previous year, with an especially significant drop in 8th grade ELA proficiency.
The school has an enrollment of 453 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.6, suggesting opportunities for individualized attention. With a spending per student of $10,730, the school appears to have adequate resources. However, a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024 is a concern that may impact student engagement and academic outcomes. Nearly half of the student body, 49.23%, qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, a factor often considered when evaluating school performance.
