Prairie Heights Community School Corp

The Prairie Heights Community School Corp district in Indiana consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mixed picture, with Prairie Heights Elementary School standing out as a strong performer, while the middle and high schools face some academic challenges.

Prairie Heights Elementary School consistently ranks in the top half of Indiana elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state averages in ILEARN math and English language arts proficiency for grades 3 and 4, and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Prairie Heights Middle School lags behind in ILEARN math proficiency, while Prairie Heights Senior High School struggles in SAT math proficiency, despite maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate and outperforming the district and state in SAT evidence-based reading and writing.

Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low minority representation. However, a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 40-51% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed, particularly at the middle and high school levels, and should be considered when developing targeted interventions and support programs.
