Southwestern Con School Shelby County


Summary:

The Southwestern Con School Shelby County district in Indiana serves two schools: Southwestern Elementary School and Southwestern High School. While the elementary school demonstrates relatively high proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, the high school lags behind in academic performance, with significantly lower proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to the state and district averages.

The data reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools, with the elementary school consistently outperforming the high school on ILEARN assessments. This suggests potential challenges in student achievement as they progress through the district. Additionally, the high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.3% is concerning and may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes. The district should prioritize addressing attendance issues and identifying strategies to support student success as they transition from elementary to high school.

Another notable finding is the racial homogeneity of both schools, with over 92% of students identifying as white. This lack of diversity is not representative of the broader racial makeup of the state and may indicate a need for the district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their background. Furthermore, the higher per-student spending at the high school level compared to the elementary school warrants further examination to understand how resources are being allocated and how they impact student outcomes.
