Summary:

In zip code 47265, there is one middle school, Jennings County Middle School, serving grades 7-8. This public middle school is part of the Jennings County School Corporation.

Jennings County Middle School has an enrollment of 620 students. The school's statewide ranking has declined, moving from 230 in 2020-2021 to 312 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating dropped from 3 to 2 stars. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math for all grades, as well as for 7th and 8th grades specifically, generally fall below Indiana state averages. Math proficiency is consistently lower than English Language Arts proficiency. There is also variability in grade-level performance, with 7th graders outperforming 8th graders in English Language Arts in one year, and the opposite in another.

A significant concern for Jennings County Middle School is its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school serves a large population of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 63.39% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and a substantial spending per student of $13,150, indicating that resources are available to support students. These resources could potentially be utilized to address the academic performance gaps and the high rate of chronic absenteeism.
