Summary:
The C A Beard Memorial School Corp district in Indiana has only one high school, Knightstown High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a strong 94.5% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics, is a concern, with only 9.86% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics.
Knightstown High School has a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with a 49.23% free and reduced-price lunch rate. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact educational outcomes. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.1%, which can negatively affect student learning and progress.
Despite the school's resource allocation, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.6 and per-student spending of $13,176, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 321 out of 431 Indiana high schools indicate that there is room for improvement in student learning and achievement at Knightstown High School.
