Maconaquah Middle School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, higher chronic absenteeism, and a student population with a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Swayzee Elementary School, Oak Hill Junior High School, and Northwestern Middle School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, Maconaquah Middle School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (23.2% in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and many of the nearby schools, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Maconaquah Middle School (63.22% in 2022-2023) suggests that the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This may be a factor in the school's lower academic performance and should be considered when developing strategies to support student success. Maconaquah Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Indiana middle schools, with a ranking of 307 out of 485 in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that the school is underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state and should be a focus for improvement efforts.

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.
