Summary:
ZIP code 47660 in Oakland City, Indiana is home to a single middle school, Wood Memorial Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 with 157 students as part of East Gibson School Corporation. Because it is the only middle school in the area, the useful comparisons are between this school and its district and state, as well as its own progress over time.
The school's direction is encouraging. Its state rank moved from 250th of 491 (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–24 to 199th of 486 (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26 — roughly a 51-position and 10-percentile-point gain, along with a star rating increase. Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism is 11.7%, below the district's 14.2% and well below the state's 16.7%. Academically, ELA is the bright spot, with all-grades ELA 3.98 percentage points above the district and 7th grade ELA at 54.35% proficient, 12.65 points above the state. Biology End-of-Course also stands out at 50% proficient, nearly 20 points above the district.
Math is the clearest concern. All-grades math (33.11%) is 5.99 percentage points below the district, and 6th grade math (28.57%) is 11.63 points below the state; only 7th grade math topped the state average. Science is mixed: the school's 33.33% still beat the district's 23.40%, but it dropped 17.78 points from the prior year, a decline the district also saw even more sharply. For context, 59.87% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.2, and per-student spending is $9,490. Overall, this is an improving school with strong attendance and ELA results and room to grow in math.
