Summary:
The DeKalb County Ctl United School District has only one high school, DeKalb High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in DeKalb, Indiana, the school has shown steady improvement in its academic performance over the past three years, moving from a 3-star to a 4-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale.
DeKalb High School has an enrollment of 1,075 students, with a predominantly White student population (91.26%). The school's academic performance is mixed, with 62.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Evidence-based Reading and Writing on the SAT, but only 29.53% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's ILEARN Biology End of Course assessment results are also slightly below the state average. However, the school's four-year graduation rate is a respectable 91.2%, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 17.4.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as 35.53% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.0% is a concern that may require targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Overall, DeKalb High School is making progress, but there are opportunities for the school and the DeKalb County Ctl United School District to address areas of academic performance, diversity, and student engagement.
