Summary:
The MSD Shakamak Schools district in Indiana is home to a single high school, Shakamak Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school boasts a strong 97.5% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics, is a concern, with proficiency rates below state and district averages.
Shakamak Junior-Senior High School's student population of 304 is predominantly White (95.72%), with small percentages of other racial groups. The school faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 12.4% that exceeds the state's desired target of 10% or less. Additionally, a significant portion of the student body (48.68%) is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the population.
Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $10,522 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 suggest that resources are being allocated to support student learning. However, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and address the factors contributing to chronic absenteeism. By addressing these areas, the MSD Shakamak Schools district can work to enhance the overall educational outcomes for the students at Shakamak Junior-Senior High School.
