However, the school's performance on ILEARN tests is mixed, with 8th-grade English Language Arts scores above the state average but math scores for all grades below the district average. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Carroll Junior High School has fluctuated, ranging from 28.48% in 2021-2022 to 49.66% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

While Carroll Junior High School generally performs better than nearby schools like Bon Air Middle School and Logansport Junior High School, it lags behind higher-performing schools like East Tipp Middle School and Western Middle School in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. The school's declining statewide ranking and below-average math scores suggest that Carroll Junior High School may need to focus on improving its math instruction and overall academic performance to better serve its students and community.

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.
