GEORGE WASHINGTON COMM MIDDLE SCHOOL

George Washington Comm Middle Sch is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Indianapolis Public Schools school district, located in Indianapolis, IN with about 127 students. 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 29 teachers, George Washington Comm Middle Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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.

George Washington Community Middle School, located at 2215 W. Washington St. in Indianapolis, serves as a vital educational anchor for the Haughville neighborhood and surrounding west-side communities. As part of the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) district, the school operates with a "community school" philosophy, aiming to function as more than just an academic institution by integrating comprehensive support services. This model is designed to address the holistic needs of students and their families, often providing access to health, wellness, and social resources that extend beyond the traditional classroom environment.

The school emphasizes a culture of academic growth and student engagement, striving to prepare middle schoolers for the transition to high school—often maintaining a close institutional connection with the adjacent George Washington High School. By fostering partnerships with local organizations and community stakeholders, the school seeks to overcome common socio-economic barriers to education. Its location on West Washington Street positions it as a focal point for neighborhood development, where the staff focuses on building strong relationships with students to improve attendance, behavioral outcomes, and overall academic achievement in an urban setting.
