Summary:
The Michigan City Area Schools district consists of 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 275 out of 381 in Indiana and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Knapp Elementary School has the highest performance, ranking 519 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across all grades compared to other schools in the district. Springfield Elementary School also performs well, ranking 641 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars. At the middle school level, Martin T Krueger Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 380 out of 485 Indiana middle schools and rated 1 out of 5 stars.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district, especially in test scores. There also appears to be a correlation between schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance. High chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 52.4%, may be a contributing factor to the district's overall low performance. While the district as a whole is rated 1 out of 5 stars, individual schools within the district range from 1 to 3 stars, suggesting that there are pockets of higher-performing schools that could serve as models for improvement across the district.
