Hebron Middle School

Q: Is Hebron Middle School a good school?

Hebron Middle School ranks 113 th of 485 Indiana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hebron Middle School is a public middle school in Hebron, Indiana, serving around 220 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Porter Township School Corp, which is ranked 113 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Hebron Middle School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts and Math ILEARN assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 50% of Hebron Middle School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.1% for 6th grade, 41.8% for 7th grade, and 42.6% for 8th grade. This is particularly impressive given the school's higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 36.57% to 47.92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years. In comparison, nearby schools like Boone Grove Middle School and Pierce Middle School have lower proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings.

However, Hebron Middle School faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.2% in 2020-2021 to 20.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, while the school's academic performance remains strong, its statewide ranking has declined from 115 out of 494 schools in 2015-2016 to 113 out of 485 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. The school and district will need to address these issues to maintain Hebron Middle School's reputation as a high-performing institution.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
