Summary:
The North Gibson School Corporation in Indiana has only one middle school, Princeton Community Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges among the student population.
Princeton Community Middle's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN proficiency rates, is consistently low, with 6th-grade proficiency rates of just 22.39% in ELA and 23.88% in Math, compared to state averages of 41.1% and 38.1%, respectively. The school's performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past few years, suggesting a need for a closer examination of instructional practices and interventions to support student learning.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.5% is also a concern, as it may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Additionally, the fact that over 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional resources and targeted support to address the unique needs of these students and their families.
