Summary:

Edinburgh Community Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Edinburgh, Indiana, with a relatively small student population of 173 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, Edinburgh Community Middle School has underperformed compared to the state and its own school district on ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts and Math. For the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.59% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the Franklin Community School Corp average of 24.23% and the state average of 41.1-42.6%. In Math, 28.16% of students were proficient or better, compared to the district average of 27.3% and the state average of 31.4-38.1%. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.8% in 2020-2021 to 42.5% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Edinburgh Community Middle School to nearby middle schools, it consistently underperforms on academic measures. For example, Greenwood Middle School, located 18.68 miles away, had 49.95% of students proficient or better in ELA and 42% in Math for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than Edinburgh Community Middle School. Despite increased spending per student, from $8,163 in 2019-2020 to $9,859 in 2021-2022, the school has struggled to improve its academic outcomes, indicating that additional resources alone have not been sufficient to address the challenges facing the school.

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.
