Summary:
Tippecanoe Valley School Corp in Indiana has one middle school, Tippecanoe Valley Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, a declining statewide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Tippecanoe Valley Middle School lags behind state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates of just 30.61% in each subject. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 215 out of 490 Indiana middle schools in 2021-2022 to 277 out of 485 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 12.7%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
