Summary:
The Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp district in Indiana operates 15 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with several standout institutions that rank among the best in the state.
The top-performing schools in the district include Discovery Middle School, which ranks 2nd out of 485 Indiana middle schools, and the elementary schools of Northpoint and Prairie Vista, both of which rank 2nd out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools. The district's only high school, Penn High School, also stands out, ranking 39th out of 431 Indiana high schools.
However, the district also has some lower-performing schools, such as Virgil I Grissom Middle and Meadow's Edge Elementary, which have lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. The district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, and do not appear to be directly correlated with school performance, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in student outcomes.
