Summary:
The city of West Lebanon, Indiana is home to two schools - Seeger Memorial Junior-Senior High School and Warren Central Elementary School, both part of the MSD Warren County district. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly white student population and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, they also exhibit distinct strengths and challenges.
Seeger Memorial Junior-Senior High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.9%, but has seen a decline in its state-wide school rankings, dropping from 4 stars in 2021-2022 to 2 stars in 2023-2024. The school also struggles with significantly lower math proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 7th and 8th grade. In contrast, Warren Central Elementary School shows strong performance in 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency, as well as 5th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies, outpacing the district and state averages. However, like Seeger Memorial, Warren Central has also seen a decline in its state-wide school rankings, dropping from 3 stars in 2021-2022 to 2 stars in 2023-2024.
Both schools face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these disparities and identifying strategies to improve overall school performance, particularly in the areas of math proficiency and state-wide rankings, could be key focus areas for the MSD Warren County district. By leveraging the strengths of each school and implementing targeted interventions, the district can work to enhance the educational outcomes for all students in West Lebanon, Indiana.
