Summary:
ZIP code 47441 is home to a single middle school — Linton-Stockton Middle School — which serves grades 6–8 with 291 students as part of the Linton-Stockton School Corporation in Linton, Indiana. Because it is the only middle school in the area, it is the only local option for families, and its recent results place it among the stronger middle schools in the state: it ranked 94th out of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026, an 81st percentile showing and a 4-star rating, up from 3 stars and a 59th percentile two years earlier (202nd of 491).
Academics have improved across the board. Science was the standout, climbing from 42.27% proficiency in 2024–2025 to 60.22% in 2025–2026 — well above the state's 41.2% for 6th grade. English Language Arts rose from 44.56% to 52.04%, and every reported grade level beat the state: 6th grade 50.54% vs 41.3%, 7th grade 45.36% vs 41.7%, and 8th grade 59.62% vs 44.0%. Math also gained, from 36.05% to 42.18%, though it still trails the district's 50.5%. The clearest weak point is 8th-grade math at 27.88%, below the state's 34.2% and far behind the school's own 6th-grade math result of 56.99%.
Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 10.2% in 2024–2025, below the district's 11.9% and well below the state's 16.7%. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and a free/reduced lunch rate of 41.58%, and per-student spending was $9,151 in 2023–2024. The middle school also currently outpaces its Linton-Stockton School Corporation overall standing, which is ranked 121st of 374 with 3 stars. The takeaway for families is a school with real momentum in science, reading and attendance, and one clear opportunity to strengthen 8th-grade math.
