Summary:
Paoli Community School Corp in Indiana is home to a single high school, Paoli Junior & Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, lags behind the district and state averages, presenting opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
Paoli Junior & Senior High School has a predominantly white student population, with only a small percentage of minority students. This lack of diversity may impact the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for the diverse world they will encounter after graduation. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can often translate to lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism.
The school's declining statewide ranking, from 152 out of 409 Indiana high schools in 2021-2022 to 294 out of 431 in 2023-2024, coupled with its lower-than-average proficiency rates in ILEARN/English Language Arts, ILEARN/Math, and SAT/Mathematics, suggest that the school may be struggling academically compared to other high schools in the state. Addressing the chronic absenteeism rate and providing additional support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds could be areas of focus for the school and Paoli Community School Corp to improve student outcomes.
