Middle Schools in North Central Parke Community School Corp

The North Central Parke Community School Corp district in Indiana has only one middle school, Parke Heritage Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly White student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Parke Heritage Middle School has seen relatively consistent performance on the ILEARN assessments in English Language Arts and Math over the past few years, with proficiency rates ranging from around 24% to 48% across different grade levels. However, the school's proficiency rates are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 8th grade. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than desired at 22.7%.

Despite these challenges, Parke Heritage Middle School maintains a student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and spends $11,396 per student, which may provide some resources to support student learning. As the sole middle school in the district, Parke Heritage Middle School plays a crucial role in the educational landscape of the North Central Parke Community School Corp, and continued efforts to improve academic performance and address socioeconomic factors could benefit the students and the community as a whole.
