Christel House Academy South

The Christel House Academy South district in Indiana consists of two schools: Christel House Academy South, an elementary school, and Christel House Watanabe Manual High School. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students, and face significant challenges in academic performance and attendance.

While Christel House Watanabe Manual High School stands out with an impressive 96.4% four-year graduation rate, the academic performance at both schools, as measured by ILEARN and SAT test scores, is generally below state averages, particularly in math. Both schools also have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the overall academic challenges. Additionally, the Christel House Academy South district as a whole is ranked 325 out of 381 districts in Indiana and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting the schools may be struggling within the broader district context.

Despite these challenges, the Christel House Academy South schools have some strengths, such as small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 13:1 at the elementary school and 10.5:1 at the high school, indicating a focus on individualized attention. However, addressing the key areas of concern, such as academic achievement and attendance, will be crucial for improving outcomes for these schools and the district as a whole.
