Summary:
ZIP code 47932 is home to a single middle school — Covington Middle School, a grades 6–8 campus with 178 students at 514 Railroad St in Covington, Indiana, and part of the Covington Community School Corp. Because it is the only middle school in the area, its numbers serve as both the local picture and a useful benchmark against the district and the state.
Academically, the school is on a clear upward path. Its state rank improved from 131st of 491 (73rd percentile) in 2023–2024 to 88th of 480 (82nd percentile) in 2024–2025, then to 64th of 486 (87th percentile) in 2025–2026, while holding a four-star rating each year. In 2025–2026, English language arts proficiency rose to 52.63% from 44.64% the year before, moving above the district's 44%. Science is the standout: 61.04% proficiency in science all grades and in 6th grade science, above the district's 56.55% and far above the state's 41.2%. Math all grades sits at 51.32%, just under the district's 53.74%, but every reported grade-level math result tops the state — 6th grade at 58.44% versus 40.2%, 7th grade at 43.75% versus 35.9%, and 8th grade at 48.44% versus 34.2%. Grade-level ELA also beats the state in all three grades.
Chronic absenteeism is 12.1%, better than the state's 16.7% but above the district's 10.5%, making attendance a reasonable area to monitor. About 39.33% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $9,710, and the student-teacher ratio is a low 10.7. With only 178 students, one student represents roughly 0.56 percentage points, so small year-to-year shifts should be read with caution.
