Summary:
ZIP code 47240 covers Greensburg, Indiana, and contains exactly one middle school: Greensburg Community Junior High, a grades 6–8 campus at 505 E Central Ave with 404 students, operating as part of Greensburg Community Schools.
Since it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, this school defines the area's middle-school landscape, and its strongest signals are attendance and science achievement. Chronic absenteeism sits at 6.1%, well below the district's 9.5% and the state's 16.7% — notable given that 53.47% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Biology End-of-Course proficiency was 100% in 2024–2025 and 86.96% in 2025–2026, far above the district's 59.87% and 54.86% and the state's 45.6%. Eighth-grade English Language Arts reached 48.06%, exceeding both the district (45.59%) and the state (44.0%). Context indicators look favorable as well: a 10.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $13,644 in per-student spending.
Math is the clearest challenge. All-grade math proficiency was 36.52% in 2025–2026 against the district's 46.99%, and 34.16% versus 44.23% in 2024–2025 — roughly a 10-point gap in both years. All-grade science (40.38%) also trails the district (48.33%), and 6th-grade ELA (32.05%) is above the district but below the state's 41.3%. Grade-level math results, however, land close to state averages. The school has held a 3-star rating each year, ranking 188 of 486 in 2025–2026 — stable rather than declining.
