GREENCASTLE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Greencastle Middle School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Greencastle Community School Corp school district, located in Greencastle, IN with about 416 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 28 teachers, Greencastle Middle School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Greencastle Middle School, located at 400 Percy L. Julian Drive in Greencastle, Indiana, serves as a central hub for adolescent education within the Greencastle Community School Corporation. The school is named in honor of Percy L. Julian, the renowned research chemist and humanitarian who was a native of Montgomery, Alabama, but holds a deep historical connection to the region and the state’s academic legacy. The facility is designed to support students in grades 6 through 8, providing a transitional academic environment that bridges the gap between elementary education and the more rigorous requirements of Greencastle High School.

The school places a strong emphasis on fostering both academic growth and social-emotional development during these formative middle school years. Beyond the standard core curriculum, Greencastle Middle School offers a variety of extracurricular opportunities, including athletics, clubs, and arts programs, which are intended to encourage student engagement and community involvement. By focusing on a well-rounded educational experience, the institution aims to prepare its students to become responsible, productive citizens while maintaining the small-town, supportive community atmosphere for which the Greencastle area is known.
