Middle Schools in Carmel Clay Schools

The Carmel Clay Schools district in Indiana is home to three high-performing middle schools: Clay Middle School, Creekside Middle School, and Carmel Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Carmel Clay Schools district, known for its strong academic reputation.

Among the three middle schools, Creekside Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in the state of Indiana. Creekside boasts significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 5.7%. In contrast, Carmel Middle School has the lowest Math proficiency rates among the three schools, despite having the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio.

The racial diversity of the schools also varies, with Creekside Middle School having a higher percentage of Asian students (27.35%) compared to Clay Middle School (11.1%) and Carmel Middle School (9.87%). This diversity may contribute to the schools' academic performance, as research has shown that diverse learning environments can have positive impacts on student outcomes.
