Summary:

Angola Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Angola, Indiana, with a student population of 557 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the MSD Steuben County school district, which is ranked 174 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Angola Middle School consistently outperforms the district and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, 43.6% of Angola Middle School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 38.4% for the district. The school has also seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 29.8% in 2021-2022 to 18.7% in 2022-2023, though this is still higher than the state average. Angola Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.05% to 52.78% over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as DeKalb Middle School, Prairie Heights Middle School, and Fremont Middle School, Angola Middle School generally performs better in terms of test scores and school rankings. However, these nearby schools also have their own strengths, such as lower chronic absenteeism rates or higher spending per student. While Angola Middle School is performing well overall, the school could focus on further reducing chronic absenteeism and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population to ensure continued academic success.

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.
