Borden-Henryville School Corporation

The Borden-Henryville School Corporation in Indiana operates four schools, including two elementary schools and two high schools. The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance across the district, with William W Borden High School and William W Borden Elementary School standing out as the top-performing institutions, while Henryville Junior & Senior High School and Henryville Elementary School lag behind.

William W Borden High School is the district's highest-ranked school, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting the best test scores, with 54.88% of students proficient or better in ELA and 34.15% in Math. Similarly, William W Borden Elementary School is the top-performing elementary school, with 52.49% proficient or better in ELA and 59.67% in Math. These schools also have the lowest chronic absenteeism rates and the highest graduation rates in the district.

The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, as the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the higher spending per student at William W Borden High School may contribute to its strong academic outcomes, though this relationship is not consistent across all schools, indicating that other factors, such as teaching quality and school leadership, also play a significant role in student success. The fluctuating school rankings over the past three years highlight the need for continuous improvement and targeted interventions to address areas of concern within the Borden-Henryville School Corporation.
