Summary:
The city of Orleans, Indiana is home to two schools - Orleans Elementary School and Orleans Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Orleans Community Schools district. While the schools share a predominantly white student population, their academic performance and other key metrics paint a mixed picture for the educational landscape in this area.
Orleans Elementary School struggles with consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom third of Indiana elementary schools for the past 3 years. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 5.4% and proficiency rates in ELA (30.4%) and Math (29.2%) that are well below state averages. In contrast, Orleans Junior-Senior High School has shown some improvement in recent years, moving from the bottom quarter of Indiana high schools to the middle third, but still maintains concerning proficiency rates in ELA (32.59%) and Math (14.81%), particularly in 11th grade SAT Math (8.77%).
Both schools face challenges in terms of attendance and graduation rates. Orleans Elementary School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, while Orleans Junior-Senior High School has a graduation rate of 80.0%, which is below the state average. The district may need to examine the underlying factors contributing to these issues and implement targeted interventions to support student success across all grade levels.
