Middle Schools in South Harrison Com Schools

The South Harrison Com Schools district in Indiana is home to two strong-performing middle schools: Corydon Intermediate School (grades 4-6) and Corydon Central Junior High School (grades 7-8). Both schools have earned a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing them among the top middle schools in the state.

Corydon Intermediate School stands out for its consistently high ILEARN proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, outperforming both the district and state averages. The school also boasts a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.9%. In contrast, Corydon Central Junior High School excels in ILEARN English Language Arts, but underperforms the district in ILEARN Math. However, the junior high school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15:1 compared to 19.1:1 at the intermediate school.

Both schools serve a predominantly White student population, with Corydon Central Junior High School having an even higher percentage of White students at 89.3%. The racial diversity at these schools, while limited, could provide valuable learning opportunities for students. Additionally, the difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($9,933 at the junior high versus $9,342 at the intermediate school) suggests that resource allocation may be an area worth exploring further.
