Best Public Schools in Bicknell, IN

Summary:

The city of Bicknell, Indiana is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: North Knox Junior-Senior High School and North Knox Primary School. These schools, operated by the North Knox School Corp, face some academic challenges, but also have areas of strength.

North Knox Junior-Senior High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.3%, which is significantly above the state average. However, the school's academic performance on standardized tests is below average, with only 43.5% and 22.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%, well above the state average.

North Knox Primary School serves a student population with a high percentage (62.91%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student body. While the school's test score data is not available, its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% is also a concern. Both schools have similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, suggesting that factors beyond funding and resources may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these institutions.
