Summary:
The city of Osgood, Indiana is home to two schools: Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School and Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School, both part of the Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corp. While the elementary school excels academically, the middle and high school face some challenges in student achievement.
Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of white students at 97.44%, well above the state average. The school also outperforms district and state averages on ILEARN tests, particularly in 3rd grade math where 71.15% of students scored proficient or better. In contrast, Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School lags behind in ILEARN scores, with only 24.55% and 32.73% of students scoring proficient or better in math and English language arts, respectively.
Despite the academic struggles at the middle and high school level, Jac-Cen-Del Middle School/High School boasts an impressive 97.3% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. However, the relatively low proficiency rates on standardized tests suggest that students may be graduating without meeting academic benchmarks. Additionally, the middle and high school have a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 12.9% compared to the elementary school's 6.8%, which could be an area of focus for the district.
