Purdue Polytechnic High School North

Purdue Polytechnic High School North is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Indianapolis area, with a total enrollment of 283 students. While the school boasts a diverse student population, recent data suggests it may be facing some academic challenges, with declining statewide rankings and lower-than-average performance on standardized tests.

The school's student body is relatively diverse, with 45.58% White, 31.8% African American, and 14.49% Hispanic students. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 85.0% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 48.3% is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 143 out of 409 Indiana high schools in 2021-2022 to 176 out of 431 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing and SAT Mathematics assessments are lower than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Purdue Polytechnic High School North serves a diverse student population and may benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to improve student attendance, academic performance, and overall outcomes. As a public charter school within the Purdue Polytechnic High School North district, the school has the potential to address these areas of concern and provide a high-quality education to the students in the Indianapolis community.
