Summary:
The MSD Pike Township school district in Indiana is home to three middle schools: Guion Creek Middle School, Lincoln Middle School, and New Augusta Public Academy - North. While the schools share a district, they vary in their academic performance, attendance rates, and student demographics.
Among the three, New Augusta Public Academy - North stands out as the highest-performing school, consistently outpacing the district and its peers in both English Language Arts and Math ILEARN test scores. The school also boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and the highest percentage of students not receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student body. In contrast, Guion Creek Middle School and Lincoln Middle School have lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the standout performance of New Augusta Public Academy - North, the data reveals significant achievement gaps across all three schools when compared to state averages, particularly in 8th grade Math proficiency. This suggests that the MSD Pike Township district as a whole faces challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its students, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these disparities.
