Summary:
The Fayette County School Corporation in Indiana has only one middle school, Connersville Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. With an enrollment of 505 students, Connersville Middle School has a predominantly White student population (94.26%), but its academic performance lags behind state averages, particularly in math proficiency.
Connersville Middle School's proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year were 39.82% in English Language Arts and 21.22% in Math, which is slightly better than the district's overall scores in ELA but significantly worse in Math. The school's 7th and 8th grade proficiency rates in both subjects were also below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
Despite the school's resource allocation, with a student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and per-student spending of $11,155, the academic performance data suggests that these resources are not translating into improved student achievement. The lack of other middle schools in the district makes it difficult to make meaningful comparisons, but the data indicates that Connersville Middle School faces significant challenges in providing effective instruction and support for its students.
