Summary:
The East Washington School Corp district in Indiana has only one high school, Eastern High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with a declining academic performance and lower-than-average proficiency rates in key subjects.
Eastern High School has an enrollment of 389 students, with a predominantly white student population. The school's academic performance has dropped, ranking 270 out of 431 Indiana high schools in the 2023-2024 school year, down from 199 out of 409 in 2021-2022. Proficiency rates in SAT/Mathematics and ILEARN/Biology are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating areas for improvement. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.1%, which could be contributing to the declining academic performance.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with over 40% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,701, the school's resources may not be effectively addressing the challenges faced by its student population. Moving forward, the East Washington School Corp and Eastern High School will need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to improve student attendance, academic achievement, and overall school performance.
