MSD Lawrence Township

Summary:

The MSD Lawrence Township school district in Indiana consists of 16 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 279 out of 381 school districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as performing better than others. Forest Glen Elementary School ranks 155 out of 1,010 elementary schools in Indiana and is rated 4 stars, with strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism. Amy Beverland Elementary and Crestview Elementary School also have above-average test scores compared to the district. However, there are significant disparities in academic performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes.

Across the district, graduation rates at the two high schools, Lawrence North and Lawrence Central, are relatively high at 92.3% and 93.2%, respectively. However, chronic absenteeism is a challenge, ranging from 11.7% at Forest Glen Elementary to 47.4% at Lawrence Central High School. The district also sees wide variations in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the disparities in academic achievement.
