Summary:
The Community Schools of Frankfort district in Indiana has only one middle school, Frankfort Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic students and a significant number of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.
Academically, Frankfort Middle School's performance on ILEARN assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science is consistently lower than the state averages for individual grades. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also high at 22.5%, which may be contributing to the lower academic achievement. Additionally, the school's spending per student is $9,330, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 16.4 for the 2022-2023 school year.
The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, as evidenced by its decreasing ranking on the School Digger list of Indiana middle schools, from 345 out of 490 in 2021-2022 to 295 out of 485 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices, student support, and addressing the factors behind the high chronic absenteeism rate to raise academic achievement and better serve the needs of its diverse student population.
