Purdue Polytechnic High School South Bend

Purdue Polytechnic High School South Bend is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Purdue Polytechnic High School South Bend district in South Bend, Indiana. With a diverse student population of 141 students, the school has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates below the state average in some key subjects. However, the school's racial diversity and access to significant resources present opportunities for improvement.

While Purdue Polytechnic High School South Bend has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates of 40% in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, but only 13.33% in SAT/Mathematics for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's ILEARN/Biology proficiency rate of 21.21% is also below the state average of 29%. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 57.1% and high chronic absenteeism rate of 71.0% in the 2022-2023 school year are areas of concern.

Despite these challenges, Purdue Polytechnic High School South Bend has access to significant resources, with a spending per student of $16,270 in the 2021-2022 school year. By addressing the root causes of the school's academic and attendance issues, and optimizing the use of its available resources, the school has the potential to improve educational outcomes for its diverse student population.
