Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school, James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy High School, a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Indianapolis, Indiana. With a total enrollment of 474 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
The school's academic performance is consistently low, with proficiency rates on standardized tests well below state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.91% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and a mere 1.8% were proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics. This trend has led to a declining statewide ranking, with the school now ranked 408 out of 431 in Indiana and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.7% in the 2022-2023 school year further compounds these academic struggles.
The data suggests that James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy High School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently low academic performance, declining statewide ranking, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and high chronic absenteeism rate all point to the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
