Original Research by School Decision on Boonville Middle School
Boonville Middle School serves sixth through eighth grade and is one of the buildings within the Warrick County School Corp, the single district covering the county. The school is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet. It sits in the small city of Boonville, the county seat, a compact, low-density community of about three square miles centered on a historic town square. The school itself is located within the city limits, integrated into the residential fabric rather than set apart on a remote campus. Housing values in the area sit noticeably below the national average, and the estimated monthly cost of owning a home is lower than the typical rent, a condition that may shape which families can afford to buy versus rent in this market. A parent or resident looking at this school will be reading about a mid-sized middle school that feeds into Boonville High School and draws from a student body that is overwhelmingly white, with a substantial share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
On the 2024-25 Indiana ILEARN assessments, the school's results present a mixed picture the field sees as worth a parent's attention. In math, just over half of students scored at the proficient level or above. In English language arts, the share was lower, with less than half reaching that bar. Science proficiency, tested only at one grade level within the middle school span, was the strongest of the three core subjects, with a majority of students scoring proficient or above. These results suggest that while the school is producing solid proficiency in science, the language arts and math outcomes may be areas a family would want to discuss further with the school to understand what supports are in place. The social studies data available is from the 2017-18 school year under a different state assessment, too old to serve as a reliable current comparison.
No graduation rate is reported here, because the school does not serve high school grades. That is an expected gap given the grade band.
The student body is large enough to fill three grade-level groups of similar size. Enrollment is distributed evenly across sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. The school does not report data on students with disabilities or English learners, so those proportions are not available in the assembled data.
The community context is that of a small county seat with a historic downtown square, a public library, a county museum, and a transit connection to the Evansville metropolitan area. The city's website describes ongoing growth, and the housing market shows values that have risen year over year, though they remain below state and national benchmarks. The district itself, Warrick County School Corp, does not show publicly reported recent changes such as a referendum or major curriculum overhaul in the available research, so a parent may want to ask the district office directly about any upcoming plans or stable conditions.
Boonville Middle School sits as the only district in Warrick County, so a comparison to neighboring districts within the county is not meaningful. The school stands on its own within a single-county system. For a family considering this school, the core questions will center on how the school is working to move its English and math proficiency levels upward and what academic interventions or enrichment are available for students who arrive below or above grade level. The school's size and single feeder pattern give it a straightforward structure, and the town's modest scale means most families live within a short distance of the building.
