North Putnam Community Schools

The North Putnam Community Schools district in Indiana serves students from four schools: two elementary schools (Bainbridge Elementary and Roachdale Elementary), one middle school (North Putnam Middle School), and one high school (North Putnam Senior High School). The district has a predominantly white student population and relatively high rates of free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Roachdale Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math proficiency. In contrast, both Bainbridge Elementary and North Putnam Middle School have seen their statewide rankings decline in recent years, from 4-star to 3-star ratings. Additionally, North Putnam Senior High School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 24.8%, which could be an area of concern.

The student-teacher ratios vary significantly across the schools, from 11.8 at Roachdale Elementary to 20.4 at Bainbridge Elementary. This could be an area for the North Putnam Community Schools district to examine and potentially adjust to ensure more consistent class sizes and resource allocation across the schools.
