Summary:
The city of Henryville, Indiana is home to two schools: Henryville Elementary School and Henryville Junior & Senior High School, both part of the Borden-Henryville School Corporation. While the elementary school struggles with higher chronic absenteeism and lower academic performance compared to district and state averages, the high school boasts an impressive 95.5% four-year graduation rate, though it also faces challenges in certain subject areas.
Henryville Elementary School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.6% and lower academic performance than the district and state averages across most ILEARN subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (43.12%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic disparities. In contrast, Henryville Junior & Senior High School demonstrates mixed academic performance, with stronger results in English Language Arts but weaker performance in Mathematics compared to broader benchmarks.
While the high school has a higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting greater resource allocation, this does not necessarily translate to higher academic proficiency across all subjects. Addressing chronic absenteeism and targeting academic weaknesses, particularly in Mathematics, may be important areas of focus for the district to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for all students in Henryville.
