Middle Schools in Scott County School District 2

Scott County School District 2 in Indiana has only one middle school, Scottsburg Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 537 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 92.55% of students identifying as white, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 60.34% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Scottsburg Middle School has consistently maintained a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and has been ranked in the top half of Indiana middle schools in recent years. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is mixed compared to state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.23%) and Math (37.29%) slightly below the district averages. The school's 8th-grade proficiency rates in both subjects were higher than the state averages, indicating that the school may be more successful in supporting student learning at the higher grade levels.

One area of concern for Scottsburg Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.9%, which is relatively high compared to state and national averages. Additionally, the school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $11,385, which is a relatively high amount compared to state and national averages, suggesting a focus on providing resources and support for students. Overall, Scott County School District 2 appears to have a stable and well-resourced middle school, but it faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and student attendance that may require targeted interventions and support.
