Jennings County School Corporation

Summary:

The Jennings County School Corporation operates 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Jennings County area. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement across the district.

The standout schools in the district are Graham Creek Elementary School, which ranks among the top 365 elementary schools in Indiana and earns 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, and Scipio Elementary School, which also earns a 3-star rating and has impressive math proficiency. Hayden Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts. However, the district as a whole struggles with below-average test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates at Jennings County High School.

The data suggests a strong correlation between poverty and academic performance, with the highest-poverty schools, such as Sand Creek Elementary and North Vernon Elementary, demonstrating the lowest test scores and highest chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these disparities and supporting economically disadvantaged students will be crucial for improving educational outcomes across the Jennings County School Corporation.
