Summary:
The Southwest Dubois County School Corp district in Indiana contains a single high school, Southridge High School, which serves grades 9-12. Southridge High School has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic enrollment of 30.21% and a small but notable Asian population of 0.53%. The school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a high ranking of 55 out of 409 Indiana high schools in 2021-2022 and a lower ranking of 133 out of 398 in 2022-2023.
Southridge High School's SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency rate for 11th graders was 50.36% in 2022-2023, slightly below the state average of 51.8%, while its SAT/Mathematics proficiency rate was 30.66%, slightly above the state average of 28.78%. However, the school's ILEARN/Biology proficiency rate for end-of-course exams was 29.75%, below the district average of 36.61% and the state average of 29%, indicating a potential area for improvement. The school maintains a relatively strong four-year graduation rate of 95.3%, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% is an area of concern.
Economically, 47.53% of Southridge High School students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting a relatively high level of economic need among the student population. The school's per-student spending of $11,109 for the 2021-2022 school year is in line with the state average, but the impact of this spending on academic outcomes is unclear. Overall, Southridge High School appears to be a diverse and relatively well-performing school, but with some areas for potential improvement, particularly in academic proficiency rates and attendance.
