Summary:
Zip code 47633 is home to one middle school, North Posey Junior High School, serving grades 7-8. This public middle school is part of the MSD North Posey County Schools district, which is recognized as a high-performing district in Indiana.
North Posey Junior High School has a student enrollment of 222 students and boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.5. The school's spending per student is $11,390, indicating ample resources. Academically, the school demonstrates strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates for all grades in the 2024-2025 school year at 63.23%, exceeding the Indiana average. Notably, 7th-grade ELA proficiency in the 2023-2024 school year was exceptionally high at 72.45%. However, the school's performance in mathematics shows a mixed trend, with 7th-grade math proficiency being strong, but 8th-grade math proficiency in the 2023-2024 school year at 33.06% being only slightly above the state average. The overall math proficiency for all grades in 2024-2025 was 52.02%, which is lower than the district average.
While the school is part of a highly-rated district and performs well in ELA, there are areas that warrant attention. The chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 17.8%, which is a significant concern. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has seen a decline from 29th in 2020-2021 to 60th in 2022-2023. The free/reduced lunch rate of 37.39% suggests that a notable portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, a factor that can be considered in educational planning. Despite these challenges, the school's resources and teacher-student ratio appear to be supportive of a positive learning environment.
