Summary:
ZIP code 47331 is home to a single middle school, Connersville Middle School, which serves grades 7–8 with 434 students as part of the Fayette County School Corporation in Connersville, Indiana. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there are no local schools to compare it with — the most useful benchmarks are the school's own prior years, its district, and the state.
The standout story is a sharp rise in state ranking. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 160th of 486 Indiana middle schools — the 67th percentile with 3 stars — up from 311th of 480 (35th percentile, 2 stars) the year before and 263rd of 491 (46th percentile, 2 stars) two years earlier. English Language Arts is the strongest subject: all-grades ELA proficiency was 48.21%, well above the district's 38.34%, and 8th grade ELA reached 52.45% versus the state's 44%. Seventh-grade ELA was also above the state at 44.19% vs. 41.7%. Both major subjects improved year over year, with ELA gaining 16.01 percentage points (from 32.2%) and math gaining 10.50 points (from 22.44%).
Math remains the clearest weak spot. All-grades math proficiency was 32.94%, which is 10.36 points below the district's 43.3%, and 8th grade math was 27.94% against the state's 34.2%, while 7th grade math was slightly above the state at 37.67% vs. 35.9%. Chronic absenteeism was 24.1%, above the state's 16.7% but slightly under the district's 24.7%. About 58.76% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending was $13,332 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.4 in 2024–2025. Keep in mind that these metrics come from different school years, and state comparisons are available only for the grade-level tests.
