Middle Schools in Lewis Cass Schools

The Lewis Cass Schools district in Indiana has only one middle school, Lewis Cass Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math consistently below state and district averages.

Lewis Cass Junior High School has an enrollment of 322 students, with a predominantly White student population (82.92%). The school's proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year were 33.97% in ELA and 25.96% in Math, lagging behind the Lewis Cass Schools district averages of 31.86% and 32.03%, respectively. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 222 out of 490 Indiana middle schools in 2021-2022 to 280 out of 485 in 2023-2024.

While the school's per-student spending of $8,610 and student-teacher ratio of 14.2 to 1 are in line with district averages, the data suggests that these resources may not be effectively translating to improved academic outcomes for students. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (51.24%) also indicates that it serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may present additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.
