New Middletown Elementary School

Q: Is New Middletown Elementary School a good school?

New Middletown Elementary School ranks 524 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

New Middletown Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the South Harrison Com Schools district in Indiana, with a student population of just 104 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While the school has a higher per-student spending compared to the district and state averages, it faces several concerning challenges. New Middletown Elementary has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, with 20.4% of students chronically absent in 2022-2023, well above the district and state averages. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28%) and Math (54%) in 2023-2024 falling far behind the district and state. When compared to nearby schools like Heth-Washington Elementary and South Central Elementary, New Middletown Elementary is underperforming across multiple metrics.

The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (58.65% in 2022-2023) suggests the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from being in the top 25% of Indiana elementary schools in 2016-2017 to the bottom 50% in recent years, indicating the need for targeted improvement strategies to address these challenges and support the success of all students.

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.
