Summary:
The Monroe County Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to 4 high schools serving grades 9-12, each with its own unique strengths and challenges. Bloomington High School South and The Academy of Science & Entrepreneurship stand out as the top-performing high schools in the district, consistently ranking among the best in the state with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The Academy of Science & Entrepreneurship boasts impressive test scores, with 76.47% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and 47.06% proficient or better in SAT Mathematics. This school also has a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.3% and a low student-teacher ratio of 5.9, indicating a strong focus on individualized attention. In contrast, Bloomington Graduation School appears to be the weakest-performing high school in the district, with lower graduation rates, higher chronic absenteeism, and significantly lower test scores.
Across the district, there are significant differences in student-teacher ratios, from 5.9 at The Academy of Science & Entrepreneurship to 16.9 at Bloomington High School North, which may contribute to the varying academic outcomes observed. Additionally, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Bloomington Graduation School (63%) compared to the other schools suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance. The wide range in spending per student, from $11,067 at Bloomington High School North to $19,603 at The Academy of Science & Entrepreneurship, also raises questions about the relationship between funding and educational outcomes in this Monroe County Community School Corp district.
