Summary:
The Indiana Department of Correction operates three high schools serving students in grades 5-12 in the cities of Pendleton, Logansport, and LaPorte. These schools, while facing academic challenges, provide unique educational opportunities for their diverse student populations.
Among the three schools, LaPorte Juvenile Correctional stands out as the highest-performing, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and the best statewide ranking at 336 out of 431 Indiana high schools. It also has the highest percentage of white students (62.86%) and the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (8.57%). Academically, LaPorte Juvenile Correctional had the highest percentage of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing (40% in 2023-2024).
The other two schools, Pendleton Juvenile Correctional and Logansport Juvenile Correctional, have smaller enrollments and generally lower academic performance compared to LaPorte Juvenile Correctional. However, all three schools have struggled with low proficiency rates in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing and Mathematics, with their performance mostly below the overall Indiana Department of Correction scores in these subjects.
