Summary:
The North Knox School Corp district in Indiana is home to a single high school, North Knox Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school boasts a high graduation rate of 96.3%, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics, is a concern, with only 22.5% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/Math compared to the state average of 33.9%.
North Knox Junior-Senior High School's student population is predominantly White (92.45%), with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students (55.99% free/reduced lunch rate). The school's performance on the SAT is also below state averages, with only 9.59% of students proficient or better in Mathematics. Additionally, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 and per-student spending of $11,253, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The district and school leadership may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to address the areas of concern, particularly in mathematics instruction and student engagement, to ensure all students at North Knox Junior-Senior High School have the opportunity to succeed.
