While Crawford County Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.3%) compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13% to 31.8%, which is higher than the state average.

Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.63% to 65.2%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools like Corydon Intermediate School and Corydon Central Junior High School, Crawford County Middle School generally performs worse on standardized tests, has higher chronic absenteeism rates, and serves a student population with a higher percentage of economic disadvantage. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 43 out of 494 Indiana middle schools in 2015-2016 to 130 out of 485 in 2023-2024, suggesting that its performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in the state.

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.
