Summary:
The city of Middletown, Indiana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Shenandoah Elementary School, Shenandoah High School, and Shenandoah Middle School, all part of the Shenandoah School Corporation. Among these schools, Shenandoah Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools with strong academic results and low chronic absenteeism.
In contrast, Shenandoah High School has seen a decline in its state ranking in recent years, dropping from 97th in 2021-2022 to 169th in 2023-2024. The high school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9%, indicating potential areas for improvement. Shenandoah Middle School has more average performance metrics compared to the elementary and high school.
The schools in the Shenandoah School Corporation serve a predominantly white student population, with relatively low racial diversity compared to the state as a whole. The district's spending per student is relatively consistent across the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and the moderate to high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools indicate a need to provide additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students to ensure their academic success.
