Summary:
ZIP code 47401 in Bloomington, Indiana is served by a single middle school, Jackson Creek Middle School, which enrolls 572 students in grades 7–8 as part of Monroe County Community School Corp.

Jackson Creek is a high performer on ILEARN. In 2025–2026, 59.86% of all students were proficient in ELA and 63.53% in math, compared with district rates of 46.44% and 49.65% — gaps of roughly 13 points in each subject.

Performance is very consistent across both grade levels, which points to school-wide instructional strength rather than a single grade-level anomaly. Year over year, all-grade ELA rose from 57.94% to 59.86%, while all-grade math slipped slightly from 64.74% to 63.53%.
Jackson Creek has ranked among Indiana's top middle schools for three consecutive years — 9th of 491 (2023–2024), 17th of 480 (2024–2025), and 19th of 486 (2025–2026) — holding 5 stars and a position at the 96th percentile or better each year, well above its district's 108th of 374 and 71st percentile. Chronic absenteeism was 14.0% in 2024–2025, below both the district's 17.7% and the state's 16.7%. For context, 28.32% of students qualified for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $15,138, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.2 — figures the dataset offers without district or state comparators. Keep in mind that these metrics span different school years and measure proficiency rather than student growth.
