Summary:
Frankton-Lapel Community Schools in Indiana has one middle school, Lapel Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, it faces challenges in academic performance and student demographics compared to district and state averages.
Lapel Middle School has a predominantly white student population, with only 1.19% African American and 1.19% Hispanic students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all below the Frankton-Lapel Community Schools district and state averages across all grade levels. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving instructional practices and interventions to support student learning.
Despite the school's academic performance concerns, its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.9% is relatively low compared to the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.3 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio for middle schools. The district may want to examine how resources are allocated to Lapel Middle School and explore ways to provide additional support or targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
