Summary:
The city of Vevay, Indiana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Switzerland County Senior High School, Jefferson-Craig Elementary School, and Switzerland County Middle School. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, their academic performance varies.
Switzerland County Senior High School has the largest enrollment but has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Indiana high schools and receiving only 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are below state averages, with only 38.6% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and just 9.65% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics. In contrast, Jefferson-Craig Elementary School and Switzerland County Middle School have performed better, ranking in the middle of their respective grade levels and receiving 2-3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
The Switzerland County School Corp as a whole is ranked 211 out of 381 districts in Indiana, indicating that the challenges faced by these schools may not be unique to the Vevay area. However, the data suggests that addressing the academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors impacting these schools should be a priority for the district and the community.
